The French under Joseph Francois Dupleix sought to increase their influence in the Carnatic by making alliances with native princes. They supported one claimant to succeed as Nizam of Hyderabad and the British countered by supporting another faction. Robert Clive rose to prominence when he reversed the ailing British fortunes by attacking Arcot and won a series of victories. Mohammad Ali became Nizam and Hyderabad a powerful ally of the British. Dupleix retired to France in disgrace.
