1) The East India Company was an English company formed for the exploitation of TRADE with East and Southeast Asia and India. Incorporated by royal charter on December 31, 1600, it was started as a monopolistic TRADING body so that England could participate in the East Indian spice trade.2) Mercantilism was an economic system of trade that spanned from the 16th century to the 18th century. Mercantilism was based on the idea that a nation's wealth and power were best served by increasing exports and so involved increasing trade.3) The Third Carnatic War (1756-1763) was a decisive win for the English. It established the English supremacy over the French in Indian Subcontinent. At the end, a treaty-Treaty of Paris was signed, which allowed the French to have their factories in India but forbade them from administering them.4)The Battle of Buxar was fought on 22 October 1764, between the forces under the command of the British East India Company, led by Hector Munro, and the combined armies of Mir Qasim, the Nawab of Bengal till 1763. Mir Jafar was made the Nawab of Bengal for a second time in 1763 by the Company, just after the battle. After being defeated in 4 battles in Katwa, Giria and Udaynala, the Nawab of Awadh Shuja-ud-Daula and the Mughal Emperor Shah Alam II, accompanied by Raja Balwant Singh of Kashi made an ALLIANCE with Mir Qasim.[4] The battle was fought at Buxar, a "small fortified town" within the TERRITORY of Bihar, located on the banks of the Ganga river about 130 kilometres (81 mi) west of Patna; it was a decisive victory for the British East India Company. The war was brought to an end by the Treaty of Allahabad in 1765.5) Permanent divisional commands were formed with an establishment of staff officers under a Major-General. After the reforms ended in 1909, the Indian Army was organised along British lines, although it was always behind in terms of equipment. An Indian Army division consisted of three brigades each of four battalions.Hope this is helpful for you
