Battle of Condore

The Battle of Condore took place near Masulipatam on 9 December 1758 during the Third Carnatic War, part of the Seven Years War. An Anglo-Indian force under the command of Colonel Francis Forde attacked and defeated a similarly sized French force under the command of Conflans, capturing all their baggage and artillery. The decisive British victory allowed them to lay siege to Masulipatam which they stormed on 25 January 1759.
