The Dano-Mughal War (Danish: Dansk-Mughalske Krig), also known as the Attrup's War in Bengal (Danish: Attrups krig i Bengalen), was a war between the Danish East India Company and the Mughal Empire between 1714 and 1716. The conflict started at the Danish colony in Bengal, Dannemarksnagore, when the local Karori tried to assault the settlement, because of the lack of taxes paid by the Danes. After repulsing many assaults, the Danes fled to their factory in Balasore, where they would conduct privateering against the Bengalis.
