Effects of the Battle of Plassey:
Victory for the British East India Company in the Battle of Plassey was the start of nearly two centuries of British rule in India. For an event with such momentous consequences, it was a surprisingly unimpressive military encounter, the defeat of the Nawab of Bengal owing much to betrayal.

Hey mate!!!
The Battle of Plassey is considered as an important part of Indian history. These might be the few things which make it a major event.
The Battle of Plassey took place on 23rd June 1757 in Palashi on the banks of river Bhagirathi. With its victory over the Nawab Siraj Ud Daula, who was supported by the French troops, the British East India Company (EIC) annexed Bengal. This resulted in strengthening of the Company’s influence over the place which gradually expanded to the rest of India in next hundred years.
Behind the battle, there was conspiracy between Mir Jafar (Commander-in-Chief of Nawab’s army) and Robert Clive (Commander-in-Chief of British EIC). After the victory, EIC made Mir Jafar the Nawab of Bengal. Mir Jafar was later replaced by Mir Qasim, due to his disobedience towards EIC. Mir Qasim became a puppet in the hands of British, which let them gain control over Bengal further.
