Explanation:

The Battle of Plassey was essentially due the conflicts between the Bengal Nawab and the East India Company.This is judged to be one of the pivotal battles in the control of Indian subcontinent by the colonial powers.The British now wielded enormous influence over the Nawab 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.
