Robert Clive bribed Mir Jafar, the commander in chief of the Nawab's army, and also promised him to make him Nawab of Bengal. He defeated the Nawab at Plassey in 1757 and captured Calcutta. The battle was preceded by the attack on British-controlled Calcutta by Nawab Siraj-ud-daulah and the Black Hole massacre.
What were the causes of the Battle of Plassey, 1757?
The Battle of Plassey was a decisive confrontation between the British East India Company (EIC) versus the French Compagnie des Indes Orientales (CIO) and its ally, the Nawab of Bengal. (Nawab was the equivalent of the English honorific title “Duke”)
Some preface: In the 1700s, many trading companies in Asia grew in power as the formal European governments had little enforcement nor authority in the far-off regions of the world. Thus, these trading companies (like the EIC or the CIO), either via joint stock (EIC) or a royal charter (CIO), established themselves as monopolies, controlling much of the trade in their Asian spheres of influence and even running their own armies.
