How did the Mayan empire originate
Inessa05 [86]

In the wake of the death of Alexander the Great in 323 BCE, Chandragupta (or Chandragupta Maurya), founder of the Mauryan dynasty, carved out the majority of an empire that encompassed most of the Indian subcontinent, except for the Tamil-speaking south. The Mauryan empire was an efficient and highly organized autocracy with a standing army and civil service. That bureaucracy and its operation were the model for the Artha-shastra (“The Science of Material Gain”), a work of political economy similar in tone and scope to Niccolò Machiavelli’s The Prince.

Much is known of the reign of the Buddhist Mauryan emperor Ashoka (reigned c. 265–238 BCE or c. 273–232 BCE) from the edicts inscribed on exquisitely executed stone pillars that he had erected throughout his realm. Those edicts constitute some of the oldest deciphered original texts of India. Ashoka campaigned little to expand the realm; rather, his conquest consisted of sending many Buddhist emissaries throughout Asia and commissioning some of the finest works of ancient Indian art.


Ashokan pillar

Ashokan pillar

Inscription on Ashokan pillar, Lauriya Nandangarh, Bihar state, India.

Frederick M. Asher

After Ashoka’s death the empire shrank because of invasions, defections by southern princes, and quarrels over ascension. The last ruler, Brihadratha, was killed in 185 BCE by his Brahman commander in chief, Pushyamitra, who then founded the Shunga dynasty, which ruled in central India for about a century.

What was the Long term legacy of Vietnam War
Lana71 [14]
The Vietnam War usually has a negative legacy in the eyes of American citizens. This war caused the lives of thousands of US soldiers and involved hundreds of millions of dollars spent by the federal government. Many citizens did not agree with/understand why we were putting so many resources into a country that was thousands of miles away. This resulted in hundreds of protests across the US.

Along with the "waste" of resource/soldiers, citizens also disliked the way in which the US government used tactics that resulted in the deaths of innocent civilians. The use of Agent Orange was a perfect example, as this herbicide had detrimental health effects on thousands of innocent Vietnamese citizens.
