​

Answer 1

Answer:

The 1757 Battle of Plassey

Clive had managed to secure the support of Mir Jafar by promising to make him nawab after crushing Siraj Ud Daulah. ... But when Mir Jafar also could not prove himself a meek puppet ruler controlled by the British, the Company deposed him and installed Mir Qasim in his place.

Answer 2

The British now wielded enormous influence over the Nawab, Mir Jafar and consequently acquired significant concessions for previous losses and revenue from trade. The British further used this revenue to increase their military might and push the other European colonial powers such as the Dutch and the French out of South Asia, thus expanding the British Empire.
