Pondicherry was founded in 1674 as a trading station and fort of the French East India Company. The principal base of the French invaders on the Hindustan Peninsula, Pondicherry in the 18th century became the object of a fierce struggle between France and Great Britain. It repeatedly passed from the hands of one to the other. Thus, in 1761, after a long siege, it was captured by forces of the British East India Company and the fortress of Pondicherry was razed by the British, but by the Treaty of Paris of 1763 the city itself was returned to France. Pondicherry served as the administrative center of the French possessions on the Hindustan Peninsula. By an agreement in 1954 between France and India, Pondicherry and other former French possessions were reunited with India.
