The battle of Plassey.
Explanation:
The Battle of Plassey was fought between the Bengali Nawab powers Siraj-ud-Daulah and the Robert Clive-led English East India Company. It was fought at Plassey, near Murshidabad, on 23 June 1757. Mir Jafar commanded a large portion of the Nawab's 50,000-strong army, which was hand in glove with the British. His men were not at a critical time in the war. The outcome was heavy losses sustained by the Nawab's men, and he left the battlefield himself after the death of his commander Mir Madan. This was a big blow to the Nawab's army that was easily defeated by the British as a result. The Nawab was later captured and killed himself, and Mir Jafar was installed as the new Bengal Nawab.
