The Battle of Buxar took place on October 22, 1764, between the forces of the British East India Company and a coalition of Indian rulers, including Shah Alam II, the Mughal Emperor, Mir Qasim, the Nawab of Bengal, and Shuja-ud-Daula, the Nawab of Awadh. The battle was fought near the town of Buxar in present-day Bihar, India, and was a significant conflict in the struggle for control over India. The British East India Company emerged victorious, which solidified its power in India and marked a turning point in British colonial expansion. Following the battle, the Treaty of Allahabad was signed in 1765, granting the Company the right to collect revenue in Bengal, further establishing its dominance in the region.
