Answer 2

Battle of Plassey

Explanation:

• The British victory at Plassey in Bengal on June 23, 1757, was a watershed moment in Indian history. Though it was more of a skirmish than a fight, the British victory at Plassey in Bengal under Robert Clive was a watershed moment in Indian history.
• When the historic Black Hole affair happened in June 1756, the youthful Nawab of Bengal, Siraj-ad-daula, had conquered Calcutta from the East India Company with a massive army.
• The word did not reach the Company in Madras until August, and Clive, now 32 years old, did not leave for Calcutta until October, leading a combined European-Indian army of 2,500 men. In early January 1757, he pushed Siraj's force out.
• Clive thought that replacing Siraj with a new and more pliant nawab was the best way to protect the Company's interests in Bengal. He discovered a suitable candidate in Mir Jafar, a disgruntled elderly general.
• Mir Jafar signed a secret agreement brought into the women's quarters of Mir Jafar's residence, which was being observed by Siraj's spies, after complicated conspiratorial conversations and the promise of massive rewards to all parties involved.
• Despite Clive's fervent protests to the contrary, Siraj thought or knew there was a plot against him and moved south to Plassey. Mir Jafar was sending ambiguous instructions, and Clive was putting himself in a risky situation against overwhelming odds.
• On the 21st of June, he appears to have experienced a confidence crisis and summoned his officers to a council of war. The majority of people, including Clive, voted no.
• Clive then retired to a grove of trees, where he stayed for an hour in meditation, according to his friend Robert Orme. When he returned, he gave the army orders to proceed to Plassey.
