The Battle of Plassey was fought in 1757 between the British and Siraj-ud-daulah in which the English defeated the army of Siraj-ud-daulah. From then onwards the English East India Company functioned as kingmakers in Bengal politics. Finally, the English established their full sway in 1765 when Robert Clive set up the Dual Government in Bengal.
