Q. Consider the following:

1. Battle of Plassey
2. Battle of Buxar
3. First Anglo-Maratha War

Which of the following is the correct chronological order of the above battles?
Answer: 1 2 3
Notes: The Battle of Plassey (1757) marked the beginning of British dominance in India and was followed by the Battle of Buxar (1763), which further solidified British control. The First Anglo-Maratha War occurred later, from 1775 to 1782, as the British sought to expand their influence against the Maratha Empire. Thus, the correct order is 1 (Plassey), 2 (Buxar), and then 3 (First Anglo-Maratha War).
