Battle of Plassey

On June 23, 1757, Robert Clive's roughly 3,000-strong East India Company force defeated Nawab Siraj ud-Daulah's much larger Bengal army — largely through a pre-arranged betrayal by Mir Jafar. This battle transformed the British East India Company from a trading firm into a territorial power.
