Summary
Suraj-ud-Daulah, Nawab of Bengal sought to drive the British out by capturing Calcutta. Robert Clive won a series of victories ending in the defeat of the Nawab at Plassey. Meanwhile the Seven Years War had broken out which caused renewed hostilities between the French and British in the Carnatic. The British under Eyre Coote finally defeated the French. War broke out again in Bengal after a conspiracy by the Dutch but the British eventually prevailed with a final victory at Buxar. The Treaty of Paris effectively ended French ambitions in India.
