The Battle of Buxar took place in which of the following years?
1764
The question asks for the year of the Battle of Buxar, a decisive event in the rise of British power in India.
The Battle of Buxar was fought in 1764 near Buxar in present-day Bihar, on the banks of the Ganga.
It was fought between the forces of the British East India Company, led by Hector Munro, and the combined armies of Mir Qasim of Bengal, Nawab Shuja-ud-Daula of Awadh and Mughal Emperor Shah Alam II.
The Company won a decisive victory, which confirmed British control over Bengal, Bihar and Odisha.
This victory led to the Treaty of Allahabad in 1765, under which the Company obtained the Diwani (revenue collection rights) of Bengal, Bihar and Odisha.
The year 1757 relates to the earlier Battle of Plassey, while 1773 and 1785 are unrelated to Buxar.
Hence, the Battle of Buxar took place in 1764.
