History · European Expansion in India

Consider the following statements regarding the systemic, structural, and strategic factors that led to the failure of the French in India: I. The French East India Company operated as a state-sponsored enterprise lacking functional autonomy, effectively acting as a financial liability to its home government, whereas the English company generated sufficient trade revenues to loan funds to the British Treasury. II. The French successfully countered English naval superiority through a wider network of fortified port settlements, but their eventual defeat was exclusively precipitated by the personal incompetence of their military generals. III. The French prioritized territorial expansion at the expense of their foundational commercial objectives, contrasting with the English who maintained their primary focus as a trading entity capable of independently financing military operations. IV. The English established a strong strategic base in Bengal while French support was confined to the Deccan, and the ultimate demise of French ambitions in India remained completely insulated from the political outcomes of European wars. Which of the statements given above are correct?
