Battle of Buxar

The Battle of Buxar, fought in 1764 near present-day India, was a significant conflict between the British East India Company and combined forces of the Mughal Emperor, Nawab of Bengal, and Awadh (Oudh). The British aimed to strengthen their control in India, and their victory established their dominance in the region. The outcome led to the Treaty of Allahabad, granting the British territorial rights and revenue collection powers in Bengal, Bihar, and Odisha. This battle marked a turning point, paving the way for British political and military dominance in India for years to come.
