Changes

'''Joseph-François, Marquis Dupleix (1697-1763)''' was Governor-general of the [[French]] East India Company's possessions. His ambition to make France dominant in the subcontinent brought him into conflict with the British in the [[1st Carnatic War]] (1746-48) and the [[2nd Carnatic War]] (1749-54). His great rival was [[Robert Clive]]. He fell from favour and was recalled to France where he died in obscurity.
