Do you mean the 'Battle of Plassey'?
 
Causes: After the death of Alivardi Khan, Sirajuddaulah became the nawab of Bengal. The Company wanted to limit his power and aimed at securing more trade concessions from them. Sirajuddaulah was an assertive ruler who asked the East India Company not to interfere in the political affairs of the state, to stop fortifying the area and to pay the revenues to the state. After the Company refused to accept his demands, Sirajuddaulah marched with his army to Kassimbazar and imposed his writ. He also took over the fort at Calcutta.
Significance: The Battle of Plassey is considered as an important part of Indian history. Nawab Sirajuddaulah was defeated in the battle. He was executed, and Mir Jafar was instated as the Nawab of Bengal. It consolidated the British rule in Bengal. The revenues of Bengal not only helped them to organise their armies but also to finance wars with other Indian states. Thus, the British were able to consolidate their rule in India.
