Solution & Step-by-step Explanation

While the Battle of Plassey (1757) laid the foundation of British power by giving them an initial foothold in Bengal, it was the Battle of Buxar (1764) that firmly established political supremacy. In this battle, the British East India Company led by Hector Munro defeated the combined joint forces of Mir Qasim (Nawab of Bengal), Shuja-ud-Daula (Nawab of Awadh), and Shah Alam II (Mughal Emperor), leading to the Treaty of Allahabad in 1765.
