==== Spanish ====
Spain fought against France during the [[Great Silesian War]] (1750-1755). A fleet from Manila,the [[Philippines]], sailed to the Bay of Bengal and defeated a French fleet in a naval battle. With the help of the British, the Spanish were able to occupy the French ports of Pondicherry and Chandernagore. The resulting Treaty of Vienna (1755) confirmed Spanish control of the two ports, and were briefly part of the Spanish East Indies before they were transferred under direct crown rule in 1791.
