Well, he like all of the former colonial powers are monsters. They bleed the country dry, treat you like slaves and act as Kings in someone's land, I'd definitely say they are monsters.
This battle ended the power centre of bengal from North Central bengal to South bengal. Most of the industry shifted to the southern area and established european settlement, which became big cities later. Even to this day, the area around plassey is not rural at best.
wow, this puts the UK armed forces fighting on the Falklands into perspective... NATO says to go on the attack you need 3:1 but recommends 4:1 advantage
149 000 subscribers, 811 comments to this video alone... The History Chap delivers, as always... If I would any comments, the only ones I could add is that Robert Clive - and the battle of Plassey changed not only India and Britain, even the Danish colony at Tellingapore flourished until 1845 (when it was sold to the British) as a result... I didn't know that until today, but videos like these always inspires one to read more history...
Well once again, I must thank you BIG time for yet another history lesson on a battle I certainly had absolutely NO clue about whatsoever until you announced it as today's update topic, Chris old bean, and once again have you done nothing but wow me with the facts. So THAT'S how we Brits gained control of and absorbed India into our giant half the world containing Empire for the next two hundred years following on from this battle, and all thanks to the Company whose name has been most infamous and familiar to me mainly thanks to its featuring in POTC 2 and 3, huh? Well I never, and yes, PLEASE do a video on Robert Clive for sure, I would certainly LOVE to know all about HIM from you for sure, our British military history lesson giving UA-cam superstar, I wonder if he shared a lot in common with the infamous pirate murdering SOAB EITC head boy from POTC Lord Cutler Beckett, lol. And btw, saw your reply to me from yesterday on that one of your suggestive topics grid from last week, thanks for the words, old bean, as I would certainly LOVE to have a video about the Battle of Sedgemoor done at some point very much, but please, no pressure to do it just because I'm in big desire for it, t'is your personal timing and choosing after all, and actually, in accordance agreement with what someone else said on there, you doing one about that battle whilst on the very old site of where it took place would be EXCELLENT indeed
A clear, well informed and at the point video, Chris. Thanks! Some thinks: A) The case of India conferms the principle that usually great countries soffered more for internal problems that for external: if Mogul Empire remained united the Europeans couldn' t interfere in the country in this measure ( and Islamic rulers didn' t establish himself easily in an united India durin Middle Age). B) It is dangerous to judge an event of the past on the base of moral principles of present. Colonialism is a great problem not only for the historians but we must avoid anachronistic judgement. This for contextualise the events. C) The army of the nawab could win the battle encircling Clive army , fixing it whit infantry and artillery and attaccking from the rear whith cavalry.After some hours of fighting a determinated general assault could threw the exhousted troops of the Company in the river. But this tactic required a strong leadership and loyal comandants. It wasn' t the case. Certainly Mir Jafar confirms, in my opinion, the Spanish proverb " The treason is nice but the traitor is disgusting ". Bye and see you soon.
@@TheHistoryChap brother i know a bit detail of the reality of the battle a lot of drama was happened on the day and we know only a few part of the total incident ....total history is much more dramatic then a hollywood series....brits cut down most part of the history as all are redundant now ...clove acted smart and he practically outplayed all his opponent including french specnish and dutch....
Interesting story, thanks for the video! I wonder if you wouldn't consider doing one at some point about the nationalisation of the EIC. The various players, arguments, debates in parliament, how it was accomplished in practical terms, and in particular what if anything the EIC did to try to prevent it.
@@TheHistoryChap Absolutely! A company that, on paper, had a larger standing army than the UK and arguably a larger navy (even if fewer warships) and yet was so dependent upon Britain that it allowed itself to be nationalized is, to me, one of the most fascinating subjects in British history.
Yes to a video about Clive. I love learning about the controversial characters of British history. It sounds like Clive brought a knife to a gun fight! 😂😅However, that was one goram knife! 😮
Very intriguing video, but I would like to add some small corrections/additions if I may: 1. The British East India Company (the one being present at Plassey) technically was founded in 1698, not 1600. What was founded in 1600, was the ''Governor and Company of Merchants of London trading into the East Indies'' - however a dispute with William III. led to the creation of a new Company, the ''English Company trading to the East Indies''. Under Queen Anne I., the two Companies were merged together in 1708/1709, from a legal standpoint however, it was a takeover by the new one. The old one, founded in 1600, was formally dissolved in 1708, and the English Company was thus renamed to the ''United Company of Merchants of England trading to the East Indies'', and would be what you know as the British East India Company. 2. Bombay as a settlement/outpost was not established by the English, but rather aquired. It had been a Portuguese possession, and when Charles II. married Catherina de Braganza, it became English as a dowry for his (their) wedding in 1662. It was transferred to the EEIC in 1668/69 per Royal Charter for a token payment of 10 pounds. Which is also a reason why I am a bit confused by the image/map you used for the various European settlements in the 17th century in India, as that map suggests that Bombay became English in 1638, although primary and secondary sources are unmistakenly clear about it not being so. (Weirdly enough, Kings and Generals video about Plassey includes the claim that the outposts of Madras, Bombay and Calcutta were already existing as English possessions in the 1650s, no clue where they got that nonsense from). 3. The conspirators: As you rightfully said, it wasnt just Mir Jaffar who betrayed Siraj Ud-Dowla, as Rai Durlabhram Som (Rai Durlabh) - the equivalent of the finance/revenue minister of Bengal also was one of the conspirators. However Yar Lutuf Khan, one of the other commanders at Plassey, also was part of the betrayal against the nawab. 4. Active troops - several historians have given estimates as to how 'strong' tha nawabs army actually was due to the treachery, most of them assess the amount of troops still loyal to Ud-Dowla at 10-15,000 men. Partha Chatterjee ('Black Hole of Empire'), claimed that out of 15,000, only 5,000 men actually participated in the battle on the Indian side, which would equate to rather equal-ish odds in numbers against the British. You also mentioned you used 4 sources for this video, Other than the article from the National army Museum and 'The Anarchy', may I inquire as to what the other two are? All the best Chris, and thanks for the video, as always :)
@@TheHistoryChap Well that certainly was a quick respone, especially that late in the night! What I forgot to mention - because obviously there are always points coming up AFTER the initial comment has been sent ;) - that it wasnt just the fortifications of the British at Fort William that had been a thorn in the nawabs eye. The British had been refusing to extradite politically persecuted people (whom the nawab suspected of conspiring against him), an issue that had been persisting since Alivardi Khan had been the nawab. Some historians have speculated that both of these issues may have been deliberate acts aimed at and intended to provoke Ud-Dowla into a hostile reaction. - Similarly, there is some controversy about who initiated the conspiracy plot, as either Clive approached Jafar and the others in the first place, or if the latter instigated the plot and Clive just joined it at a convenient time.
Clive was an outstanding general, a military genius, we Indians admire him,we thank the British for colonizing India , for developing India, for modernisation of Indian Agriculture,for building Infrastructure, for modernisation of India, for introduction of modern education, for bringing modern medical technonology, for spreading English language, Thank You, Great Britain
It would be nice if you could cover the war with Tipu Sultan and why the British chose to attack him. What was the primary reason for British superiority over the local kings? You have provided some reasons in this video. I have been reading William Dalrymple books like the "Anarchy" and "White Mughals" and enjoy reading/learning of that time of Indian history.
A tiny battle changed by some misjudgement and betrayals that had a crazy snowball effect on india and the world. My hometown is Chennai, formerly Madras, I didn't know that it was the Madras regiment that won Bengal. I also don't understand how losing one battle lost Bengal. What about the landlords where they not loyal to the former nawab?
Yes, I agree, Clive was a freebooter, the machinations of India and the East India Company was a minefield (Treachery piled upon treachery), he won through but was then subject to an enquiry in Britain, that is all I know but certainly he was a character and successful. Eyre Coote was another character, basically you are spoiled for choice for interesting characters.
It was only in 1849 with the Second Anglo-Sikh War that all of India came under British rule though Nawab of Bengal was a Muslim state as well and there were many Hindu and Sikh principalities independent at that time
If you haven't already done so, how about Wolff and Quebec/ battle of Plains of Abraham etc? Love all your videos etc., the best out there, thanks for all the hard work you put in making them for us all to watch.
Impressive, but the nawab should've been more careful, first of all he should've played with either french and british, without taking side with one or another, then, knowing how treacherous were, generally, most of his subordinates, he should've placed some spies in their entourages.
@@TheHistoryChap £1,000,000 to Clive and a bribe to the Nawab's second in command Mir Jafar by the Jaget Seth family might have been the inspiration. A few other wealthy businessmen conspirators were paid handsomely, £300,000 Rupees, under agreements with Clive and the British.
Yes. There is a nice quote attributed to Siraj ud-Daulah: "You are an ocean of mercy, I am a vessel of sin. Where shall I find your mercy, where will my sins go?"
@@DanSnipe-k8o he was betrayed, and brutally killed by the traitor's son...... If Mir Jafar would have supported him, Clive would have stood no chance against the army of Bengal
@@Scurvybilgerat10 true both France and Britain would've tried to at least hold onto all territories in Africa and some parts of South Asia if America wouldn't have intervened
