Battle of Chinsurah

The Battle of Chinsurah, also known as the Battle of Biderra or the Battle of Hoogly, took place on 25 November 1759 near Chinsurah during the Seven Years' War. It was fought between forces of the British East India Company (EIC) and the Dutch East India Company (VOC), the latter of whom had been invited in 1759 by the Nawab of Bengal, Mir Jafar, to help him expel the EIC and establish the VOC as the leading European power in Bengal.
