#OnThisDayInHistory The Battle of Wandiwash was a battle in India between the French and the British in 22 January 1760. 
The battle was part of the Third Carnatic War fought between the French and British colonial empires (1758-63), which itself was a part of the global Seven Years' War (1756–63). It took place at Vandavasi (Wandiwash) near Pondicherry (Puducherry) in Tamil Nadu.

In January 1760, the British, led by Eyre Coote, defeated the French forces under Thomas-Arthur, Comte de Lally, at Vandavasi in the present-day Tiruvannamalai district and established their supremacy in India. With the loss of Pondicherry, Gingee and Mahe, the French power in India was reduced to its lowest.
