Option 2 : French Government was democratic while the Government of England was despotic

The Correct Answer is Option 2 i.e. French Government was democratic while the Government of England was despotic​.

Following are the causes of the failure of the French in establishing an empire in India:

  • French Continental Preoccupation:
    • It has more continental ambitions to fight for its natural frontiers and this constrained her resources.
    • France cared more for a few hundred square miles of territory on her frontier to bigger stakes in North America and India.
    • But England’s ambition was mainly colonial and in this single-minded objective she came off with flying colours.
  • Different systems of Government in England and France:
    • The French government was despotic and depended on the personality of the monarch. Hence Option 2 is Correct.
    • England, on the other hand, was ruled by an enlightened oligarchy.
    • England witnessed constitutional set-up reducing the British realm in to a sort of crowned republic.
  • Differences in the Organization of the two companies:
    • The French Company was the department of the state.
    • Its directors were nominated by the King from the shareholders.
    • The shareholders rarely met and the company was managed by the state.
    • It was ill equipped to support the ambitions of the Dupleix.
    • English company was financially sound independent commercial corporation with the less interference of the State in its day to day affairs.
  • Role of Navy:
    • Superior maritime strength of British proved to be its most powerful weapon in the struggle for colonial supremacy.
  • Impact of English successes in Bengal:
    • It had enhanced the prestige of the Company and also placed at its disposal the vast resources in wealth and manpower of Bengal.
  • Able leadership:
    • ​The superior political leadership and military generalship of the English in India stands in contrasting to that of the French.
    • English were successful in procuring the services of capable commanders and very many servants far superior to any of the subordinates of Dupleix and Bussy.
