The battle of Plassey WA a turning point because it was in this battle that the Britishers had defeated an Indian king and annexed an Indian territory.Before this battle they did not have an Indian territory to rule upon.
In 1756, the French encouraged the Nawab of Bengal, Siraj-ud-Daulah to attack the East India Company (EIC) base in Calcutta. He captured the city but was unable to control it. In 1757, Robert Clive arrived with a force of EIC soldiers and defeated Siraj-ud-Daulah's troops in the Battle of Plassey. The Nawab's body was found in a river after the battle. Clive's victory had been made easy by the treachery of Siraj-ud-Daulah's general, Mir Jafar. The EIC rewarded him by making him the Nawab of Bengal.
When Siraj-ud-Daulah became the Nawab of Bengal in 1756, he drove the English out of Calcutta for expanding fortifications against the order and misusing trading rights. He sent his troops and occupied the Company's factories in Calcutta. The British officials were alarmed at this development and decided to depose Siraj-ud-Daulah and install a puppet Nawab in his place Under Robert Clive's leadeship, the Company tried to regain its position to Bengal. This led to the famed Battle of Plassey.
Because it gave British a chance to rule the rich lands of India and take control of India, since they were powerful and had the tactics and modern artillery. They were rich, and stronger than the once invincible empire, The Mughals.
