After Plassey: The Treaty of Paris and the Birth of British India

In 1763, the Treaty of Paris ended the Seven Years' War and redrew the global map. But for India, this was more than a European peace — it was the moment French imperial ambitions in the subcontinent were extinguished and the British East India Company emerged as the dominant power. Lucas and Luna explore the Battle of Wandiwash (1760), the siege of Pondichéry, and the tragic last stand of Comte de Lally. They delve into the forgotten Mughal context, the role of the Nawab of Arcot, and how the treaty's territorial clauses paved the way for the British Raj. This episode ties the global war to local Indian politics, showing how European peace marked the beginning of colonial rule in India. #TreatyOfParis1763 #SevenYearsWar #BattleOfWandiwash #Pondicherry #ComteDeLally #SirEyreCoote #BritishRaj #FrenchEastIndiaCompany #EastIndiaCompany #MughalEmpire #NawabOfArcot #ColonialIndia #GlobalWar #18thCentury #History #FexingoHistory #Colonialism #India Keep every episode free: buymeacoffee.com/fexingo
