The battle fought between Shah Alam II and the British was the Battle of Buxar, which took place on October 22, 1764.
The battle was fought because Shah Alam II, the Mughal Emperor, had been captured and imprisoned by the British East India Company during the First Anglo-Mysore War. The British had also been expanding their control over various regions in India, including Bengal, Bihar, and Orissa.
Shah Alam II sought to regain his independence and authority as the Mughal Emperor, and formed an alliance with the Nawab of Oudh and the Nawab of Bengal to fight against the British. The British, led by Major Hector Munro, were able to defeat the combined forces of the Indian rulers at the Battle of Buxar, securing their control over the region.
The outcome of the Battle of Buxar solidified British dominance in India and marked a significant turning point in the history of British colonial rule in the subcontinent.
