Alivardi Khan died in 1756, and Siraj ud-Daulah succeeded him as Nawab of Bengal. He was Bengal's final autonomous Nawab. The initial Nawab of Bengal was Murshid Quli Khan. As a result of British influence, Mir Jafar was the first Nawab of Bengal. From 1740 to 1756, Alivardi Khan ruled Bengal as Nawab.
