Battle of Plassey 1757 - British Conquest of India Begins DOCUMENTARY 

When you blow through that Raid: Shadow Legends cash too quickly

Please make one on India-Pakistan 1965 war.

Nice job with this video. I would love to see more video not just on battles that happening in India but all the wars fought by the British to take various colonies in India, Africa and elsewhere. Can' you make video's on that? Please?

Sri Lanka(Ceylon) was not under the control of The Dutch. The Kandyan Kingdom controlled the majority of the country .. Only major seaports and forts was under Dutch rule

Thanks guys can you make a series about it and include anglo-maratha, anglo-maratha, anglo-sikh,paika rebellion and Indian rebellion wars?

It's the same in bengali

We Bengalis coined him the same. After all its him we sold Bengal

I understand how bitter it feels bro. I am from Azerbaijan and we also lost a war because of traitors. Much respect to you.

i think its common in Pakistan, india and Bangladesh, mir jaffar has become symbol of treachery

your foolish to blame him ...what you fail to realize is anybody can be bought ....the British gave him an offer he couldn't refuse and you would have done the same if the offer was given to you ...... Money Talks .... and it still does the talking to this very day .

Sounds like that could be the name of a Disney Villain.....

Exactly what I wanted to say

Liquidsback you guessed it right he was a villain if didn’t betrayed the sub continent wouldn’t be under British control

Also Jaichand and Man Singh

The Jagat Seths too!

Bengals had the means to protect their territory but it was the traitors who destroyed them and traitors themselves did not last.

Like calling someone "judas".

Of course a tratior forever.

That's a great fact to learn, thanks. Kinda like the "300's" "Judas" name still meaning nightmare in Greek.

I doubt the majority even knows who Mir Jafar is, let alone being slang for a traitor.

@@jupe2001 Everyone knows who Mir Jafar is (atleast in Bangladesh and West Bengal). If you think otherwise ask a Bengali.

Many of them know about mir jafar. Islamic history and Colonial history of the subcontinent is shoved down everyone's ass here. Part of the reason why Indian intellectual elite have no idea about the pre- Delhi Sultanate history and have an existing Western Civilization based inferiority complex. At the beginning of the video, India is being described as one of the oldest civilization. That's about it as far as Indian historians' knowledge regarding the original civilization.

Its false

There is a difference between fighting thousands of miles away from home and on your home field with all the advantages the home field gives. The British and other Europeans e.g. French were fighting at very long range relying on _ridiculously_ long communication lines back to Europe. The British were relying on a few generals and admirals to keep control of the situation. 18th century strategy for European Empires was difficult, more difficult than it might first appear. The news relaying back to their home capitals was very slow; for example, it was a month or longer round trip for news to get back and to from New York to London in the 1770's. It was the age of sail, and you were only as fast as 18th century naval architecture and wind power allow you to be (and that is before considering losses to storms, uncharted rocks, pirates, tornadoes, typhoons, uncharted reefs, disease outbreaks and navigational problems) They were doing very well to even seen a small fraction of their true military power. If the entire British Army arrived in Maratha and Mysore territory, game over. Sorry but what you said is deluded and wrong. The British only had to ''rely'' on local native forces because they could not send their full strength to one place. They were scattered all over the world. It is a problem they had in the American War of Independence. If it were just the rebels they were fighting in the world, it wouldn't be a question of victory or defeat. They'd just obliterate Washington easily (and to be fair they had kicked his backside thoroughly for years and had him on the run from New York, chasing him all over the place, nearly catching up with him like ten times; kept giving them the slip though, living to fight another day, which is all he needed to do really) The British had to keep massive forces elsewhere, and also at least *half the British Army* in England, in case France and Spain invaded (which yes, they were planning; see Treaty of Aranjuez 1779) Britain often had to keep large forces at home just in case their rivals in Europe tried any shit while their main armies were away. Ironically, they learnt that lesson *the other way round* e.g. they once sent almost their entire army to what is now West Germany, fighting the French. It was a large conflict, which Britain was just one of many allies in. The problem was, when Britain's main armies were away, Scottish Jacobite rebels attacked England and got as far as Derby in the Midlands of England, before turning back. For a while, it looked like London itself might fall to the Jacobite clan warriors, and some rich people in London panicked thinking the city was lost. Stories of thousands of Scottish warriors burning through England, reached London (that didn't really happen, mostly the Jacobites just got drunk half way down the country, argued about what their strategy was then went home whereas Bonnie Prince Charlie - whom was more Italian than he was anything to do with Scotland, particularly not Highland Scottish lol - then had to go back to Scotland with his army) He wanted to take the throne back for his dethroned familial line. He was a prince in exile, wanting to use the Jacobites to get the throne. He failed. Anyway, the British government realised it didn't have enough regular soldiers to defend London, and so it sent spies out to infiltrate the Jacobite camps, and learn information as well as to spread misinformation. Soon, the Jacobite rebels thought it was true that 10,000 redcoats were waiting for them outside the gates of London. That was a force which would have likely destroyed their 7,000-8,000 strong host, if it caught them on a field of it's choosing; so the clan chiefs convened and then decided to go home, with what loot they already had. Problem was, it wasn't true lol The British *were* bringing back multiple regiments from Germany, and this would eventually be like 20,000-25,000 soldiers coming home as soon as possible (which would have absolutely annihilated the Jacobites anyway) The main worry was that the Jacobites would have burnt down the capital and humiliated the British government, so they raised as many militia troops as they could (about 5,000-6,000) and drew in every last soldier they had around in Southern England to defend the capital. Defences were improved etc. Ironically, they'd probably have enough armed yeomanry/militia and garrison soldiers to mount a pretty sturdy defence if the Jacobites came (but most likely, the fighting ferocity of the Highlanders in melee, would overrun the defences in a general overview of tactical situations) The government was rushing regiments back home, and with a furious vengeance and anger. However, it would take time to sail them back to Britain. It was a lesson that Britain took very seriously, always making sure it had strong garrisons that would be enough to crush rebellions or repel invaders, while other field armies fought around the world. It worked well for Britain (but obviously the catch, was that they had to keep large forces at home, training but otherwise being taken out of Britain's offensive capabilities, standing idle) It was not helpful when Britain urgently needed to send more men elsewhere. Britain later absolutely crushed the Jacobites at Culloden, though the victory was mostly won by Lowland Scots serving in the British Army. Most of the English regiments were still either in West Germany or were on the way home from there. The Duke of Cumberland (called, ''Butcher Cumberland'' to this day by some Scots, and certainly by many Highlanders back then) led over 8,000 government troops into the Highlands to crush the rebels. He did, and Culloden ended it. But not before the Highlanders spent weeks leading the government forces on a wild goose chase through the rainy glens and hills of the Highlands. They'd melt away, into the heather and hills, and avoid giving battle. When battle came, the Jacobites fought fiercely, though the new model bayonet drills, superior organisation, equipment and training of the British troops, made it a very one-sided British victory. The terrifying Highland Charge, did some damage but the British lines held bravely and they defeated the Highlanders. Cumberland's brutality against the Jacobite survivors remains very controversial (he basically just said bayonet anyone whom identifies themselves as Jacobites) His troops went over the battlefield, shooting and stabbing any Highlanders who declared their allegiances to their rebel cause. Then Cumberland went after their homesteads and destroyed many Highland residences, and banned kilts, tartans and bagpipes. Later British governments would allow the Scottish to celebrate those cultural heritages and Queen Victoria famously loved Scotland, promoting tartans, kilts and bagpipes and often staying at Balmoral Castle in Scotland, as part of a public relations exercise to improve Anglo-Scottish unity. The Victorians were keenly aware of how harsh Cumberland had been, and wanted to right some wrongs. In fairness, though, the Jacobites had *invaded England* so it's pretty obvious how the British government in the mid 18th century would react to that - with fire and blood. Anyway, there you go. Learn history properly before making such comments.The British were not at full force. If they were, the Marathas and Mysoreans would lose anyway. Making up for numerical shortages, they obviously turned to native Sepoys. So? Every European Empire did in India. They were all dealing with the same logistical nightmares and had to find ways to solve the problems they had with manpower. They were better trained, better-equipped and better armed then the Mughals, Marathas and Mysoreans. Britain had *four* wars with Mysore. Yes, Mysore did better earlier on but it didn't last forever. Britain destroyed the Mysorean Sultanate, dissolving it after the Fourth Anglo-Mysore War. Mysore couldn't even stop a fraction of Britain's true strength. Most of it's successes were against smaller British forces and during times when Britain was fighting on a global scale against 5 different major powers plus their smaller satellite allies e.g. in the Second Anglo-Mysore War, during the broader timeline of the events of the American War of Independence, there were 80,000 Mysorean warriors of the Sultan, basically joining thousands of French troops in attacking British outposts and forts. The British were busy in North America, the Caribbean, the North Sea, West Africa, Gibraltar, the Mediterranean, the Atlantic, the Indian Ocean, the Far East and in India. Everywhere the British and French met, they fought. Plus Britain was fighting Spain, the Dutch Republic and many others. Pirates constantly threatened British shipping in the Atlantic, Caribbean and Far East. So Britain had to devote a lot of naval power to that. Speaking of which, most British warships never even went anywhere near India. They were busy elsewhere. 2nd or 3rd line units like smaller 3rd rates, 4th rates, 5th rates, 6th rates, gun-brigs and sloops etc would be sent. The biggest and best ships in the Royal Navy were saved for elsewhere. It was up to the EIC to deal with most problems, until they were reprimanded and absorbed by the British government much later on.

@@ThePalaeontologist you took the trouble to type such a long reply mentioning lil bits of history which is known to almost all. I considered all that when I said about unified India being strong enough to fend off small to mid sized EIC forces . There's no way whole British army would have been transported to east indies for capturing trade ports, colonial factories or far away spice lands. One has to be the moron of the highest order to think that was logically possible.i never said Maratha or mysorean forces were better than regular English professional soldiers or they had better tactics or training. Britain arguably had the best trained army during the 17th to 19th century but that did not mean that they would be all deployed to India. So I standby on my comment that a unified India under a India imperial rule like the Marathas or Mughals would have better thwarted British encroachments. For a historical example one can see British conduct in India during the reign of Jahangir , Shahjahan or Aurangzeb. The British could mostly harm Mughal shipping lines through piracy. But on land mughal dominated.

Did a faction of the Marathas not turn against Mysore ? 1799 ?

To be honest, India being unified under the Maratha or Mughals seemed like a more unlikely and impossible concept than Britain unifying India. Their organizational problems were severe.

@@EuropeanAmericanGenZ_ND 'An Empire' here refers to the Mughal Empire. Read it, it's a really good book. The Company subjugated each and every fragment of the Mughal Empire: from Hyderabad to Carnatic, from Bengal to Awadh and Punjab. İt dominated the whole Indian subcontinent.

@UCeUNO1zhSdg4p5pAHl8DOCw The pillaging of the Sassanid Empire was much worse: because it involved the expulsion of the native populations, in later periods. But then again, the dynasties that set themselves up in Persia were far from the colonialism that the European Empires of the eighteenth century practiced. The succession of dynasties in Persia made it a bastion of culture and stabilised, if not boosted, the region's economic influence. The East India, on the other hand, for example, in India, sucked every last gold bullion from Bengal. The British very well knew that it was the Company's evils in India and loot and pillage that enabled the British to carry on their country's administration despite the government sinking in debts in the financial crises of 1773.

Brutus: "Observe"

Ouch 😢

probably the case, but theoretically there's no reason you can't rifle a matchlock. In fact such weapons really did exist, although I have no idea if they were used at this battle or not.

Michael Rhodes you are correct, though they may have been using just muskets, not rifled muskets in this engagement. However, the models kind of look like Jezails, and private individuals sometimes had rifled muskets around the world. (Not as much government made till later.) Think Kentucky long rifles, German Jagers and the aforementioned Jezails.

@@mcRydes Indian matchlocks were heavier and used larger bullets, much like the Jezail of the Afghans. This allowed for more range, stability and more damage. Using the rests attached to the guns, a soldier could further stabilise his gun, improving aim and effectiveness.

Muskets not guns

Erm, matchlock means just the firing mechanism, you can absolutely have a matchlock rifle. In fact, rifling was invented by Euros already in the late 15th century, when only matchlock ignition existed.

Right?

Mostly from this video it was Indians that ended up defeating themselves and handing themselves to the British. If they acted properly they would've easily won. I mean c'mon a force of 60,000 versus like 5,000?

Although we can validly remark at the victories and strategy of colonists, the implications of these victories on the people who were colonised must also be understood. Clive was a great commander, but away from the battlefield was an unpleasant man to say the least. For me that's what makes colonial history interesting; Plassey was a remarkable victory from Clive but also arguably the darkest day in Bengali history.

The English spent over a 100 years understanding the politics of the sub continent and only put in their foot forward when the subcontinent was in a state of flux. They didn't have superior military technology (infact they reverse engineered Indian rockets and used them in America) but used deception and diplomacy to win.

That is why pakistan is a snake no doubt.

@@anantambisht4895 In what sense?

Stop spreading fake news stupid.. Mir Jafars descendents as still in kalkatta. Living in humiliation till date

@@Mahfuz-kc7qe You can google it

@@Mahfuz-kc7qe Yes but no. Mir Jafar had many wives. If Nawabate of Bengal was still there, then the person living in Calcutta (Abbas Ali Mirza) would have been the rightful heir. But, Iskander Ali Mirza was a Bengali (He was from East Pakistan) and descendant of Mir Jafar

Yep, then you stop the games to sing-along.

the mugals were muslims that conquered the place originally you left that bit out

Aidda that gotta hit him hard

Yes! We would see how traitor, totally sold dogras led to defeat of sikh army, the army which had capability to capture delhi, and even Calcutta.

@@ayansengupta6592 He paid them tribute and gave them Orissa in order to stop them from continually attacking Bengal. Repelling all those maratha invasions had a bad impact on the population and economy of Bengal. Allivardi Khan decided it would be just better to pay them off and give them Orrisa. That way at least they would be left alone. It worked.

They should have slaughtered the Marathas

​@@gajiburrahman7378 hmmmm i understand economy is extremely important in same way Marathas lost to abdali in 1761

Actually the Flag of Maratha Empire was all Orange/Saffron (Sacred colour of Hinduism/Bhuddism) you can quick search on the browser "Maratha flag".

@@ShahanshahShahin Hindus all over the India usually had same flags. That was the Flag of "Hindu Swaraj", Hindu Self Rule.

@@ShahanshahShahin Wrong, Hinduism adopted Maratha flag not the other way around.

@@brucewayne4128 correct 👍

Bangladesh came into existence in 1947..dnt cry

​@@amitr4385Bengal was independent during the period of Bengal sultanate and Nawab rule. 🤓

@@AverageHandEnjoyer-jp3xu I think u were rules by East India ..that should explain u what is independence....

Thanks for being with us

Yes this channel is so big now. Now I am finally graduated and will get a job and then become a Patreon , that is my wish since last two years.

Nawab was a looser

@@redrose-gd8fu - No doubt he lost, however, sometimes losing a battle can make one a hero also. It was a matter of principle.

As Bengali we still use his name as a slang who threw our freedom at the feet of the british people.

@Hernando Malinche by freedom it means our wealth was contained in our land. Not directly transferred to London.

@Hernando Malinche I think you'll find the answer if you search about the industrial Revolution and from where the money and other materials came from mostly. And the famines after famines in Bengal for lack of wealth and crops as they were forced to cultivate specific crops needed for the British. We can go on and on but I don't want to. Just wanting to point out that it is much better to be ruled by a dictator of your country than of a far off land on so many levels.

@Hernando Malinche that's why the British spent a lot of time not sailing all over the world and fighting for lands. Because, they were not profitable.

lol Siraj knew Jafar is a conspirator but as he was a big fat teddy bear he tried to hug their conflicts out and thought something would hit Jafar at the last moment and he will fight for Siraj

Not at all there were Maratha, Mysore and Punjab who fought bravely

@md ziden FYI-Not my Maratha. There was not alliance between Maratha and Bengal. However in 2nd Anglo Mysore war, Maratha did allied with Mysore against British

@Hernando Malinche Of course he might have been imperfect, but at least better than that demon called Mir Jafar

@Hernando Malinche ur a idiot

Great? Tell me any Great ruler who couldn’t hang on to his army?

It was the official name

that was literally their name lmao. only the english could be so ostensible

It's the Company: it's all about the tea

Chiranjit Saha if British would have not arrived all Bengali’s would have been Muslims by now. Already now 70% of Bengalis are Muslims including Bangladesh and West Bengal population

@@anandraosindhe and that's had nothing to do with arrival of British. Muslim population suppressed hindus in 1840s, due to higher population growth.

It's sad thing

@@okishira927 its a bloody great thing

Clive slit his own throat in the end. That is also a bloody great thing.

Good news

haha, basstaards looted everything

Well mughals were our common enemy before the British. So technically we were United but not as a single nation.

I think video should titled invasion rather then conquest.

Britan created India as a modern state before that I don’t think there was a United Indian identity

But it did get divided into three(not counting Afganistan) so yes... But actually No.. it was the hardwork of a lot of leaders ( specially Sardar Patel) that the modern India shape the way it is.. even some states Join India after it's Independence like Sikkim and Goa. So I would say you are half Correct. Peace.

All muslims are mir Jafar trailtors and two faced

Who would win an alliance of Indian empires with the British or one tiger boy. Spoilers if they ever made videos on anglo-mysore wars(1st,2nd,3rd and 4th)

Well it's just a story but hey, stories are fun!

Both will win. But naive Bengali will lose!

What about Anglo sikkim war

@@captaintyrrell6428 Indian war of independence* speak the right term you brit.

well the fact that more than two third of the 60 000 were actually working against their leader certainly didn't help .

And the British had better guns. And yunno guns are good.

Yes it would not be a country, you have the British to thank for creating your country.

@@domdauntless7704 my country would’ve been the entire subcontinent 🇧🇩 🇮🇳 🇵🇰

@@rrrabab nope, the subcontinent would have probably been split between regional hindu/muslim powers or divided between europeans in a china-like way

@Hegan Tank no lol the Maratha oligarchy had plans to make a swarajya Hindu nation and they had already conquered parts upto South and Afghanistan. British won bcoz of treachery lol

@Aidda yeah, this song is called "Vaishnav Jan To", just because it was used in Civ6 doesn't mean the game developers came up with it. It was written in the 15th century by a Gujurati poet, Narasimha Mehta.

correct. the civ6 theme is based on this song.

Thanks hahah was wondering what the name was. Think it was in one of the Civ games lol Edit: Ok well just read the comments, guess I remembered correctly

The maker of this channel is inclined towards glorifying Turkic , Arabic, Muslim and Mongol conquests more. That's why in India his second topic of choice after Mauryan emperor Ashoka was not even Chandragupta Maurya or Chhatrapati Shivaji but Malik Ambar a Vazir of a small sultanate Nizam Shahi of Ahmednagar Maharashtra. Even many a times he show maps of maratha empire very smaller than the reality and downplays and remains silent on success of many of maratha campaigns in his video on Afghan Maratha War and provide incorrect information thereto. This man is surely someone who takes more pride in Turko Islamic history and hence can't give justice to hindu history.

Also, the Anglo-Mysore wars.

Not many recognised that I think

@@featherlessbiped593 It's the Civilization 6 version of it as well.
