The Battle of Plassey took place on June 23, 1757, between the forces of the British East India Company and the Nawab of Bengal, Siraj-ud-Daulah. The British forces, led by Robert Clive, were vastly outnumbered but managed to secure a decisive victory due to betrayal within the Nawab's army.
The battle marked a turning point in the history of British rule in India, as it allowed the East India Company to establish control over Bengal and eventually expand its influence throughout the subcontinent. The defeat of Siraj-ud-Daulah also led to the establishment of British dominance in India for the next century.
The Battle of Plassey is considered one of the most significant events in the history of British colonialism in India and is often cited as the beginning of British rule in the country.
