Robert Clive bribed Mir Jafar, the commander-in-chief of the Nawab's army, and also promised him to make him Nawab of Bengal. Clive defeated Siraj-ud-Daulah at Plassey in 1757 and captured Calcutta. The battle was preceded by an attack on British-controlled Calcutta by Nawab Siraj-ud-Daulah and the Black Hole massacre.

SIRAJ-UD-DAULAH, THE NAWAB OF BENGAL, OBJECTED TO THE BUILDING OF FORTS AND KEEPING THEIR OWN ARMIES BY THE BRITISH. HE DEMANDED THEIR REMOVAL, BUT THE BRITISH REFUSED. THE NAWAB DECLARED WAR AGAINST THEM.
A BIG BATTLE WAS FOUGHT AT PALASSEY ON 23RD JUNE, 1757. THE NAWAB WAS DEFEATED AND THE BRITISH BECAME VERY POWERFUL IN BENGAL. THEY TRAINED INDIAN SOLDIERS AND EMPLOYED THEM IN THEIR OWN ARMY.
