Ashoka expanded the Mauryan Empire through waging war, which in turn influenced his religious beliefs after the conquests were over.

Explanation:

Ashoka was a great leader in the Indian subcontinent. When he came to power, he was only ruling over a small kingdom. He focused on strengthening the military and the kingdom, and once this was done, he started to attack the other small kingdoms one by one. Ashoka was becoming more and more powerful as he was conquering more and more kingdoms, and eventually he managed to create a large unified empire.

All the wars in which Asoka engaged actually had big influence on him. All of the horrors of war he saw made him change his mind about wagging wars. That resulted in a relative peace in the time to come, and Ashoka converted to Buddhism. Ashoka even made the Buddhism the official religion in his empire, as he thought that the people will live better and in peace.

Ashoka managed to conquer:

  • Nanda Empire
  • Seleucid Empire
  • the remaining satraps in India by the Macedonian Empire

What happens to tempreture under water as you get deeper into the ocean
dimulka [17.4K]
As you get deeper into the ocean, the temperature of the water starts dropping and so the water gets colder.Cold water always have a higher density than warmer water. In case of the oceans the cold and salty water settles at the bottom due to higher density and the warmer water rises to the surface. Although the temperature of the water rises by negligible amount from contact with the earth's surface, but it is so negligible that it does not warm the water enough. The sunlight on the other hand beats down on the surface water of the ocean to make it a little more warm.
