IRISSAK [1]

Ashoka was the third emperor of the Maurya, a dynasty between the 4th and 2nd centuries B.C. He dominated almost the entirety of India, Pakistan and part of Afghanistan. With skill and military might, the Mauryas gradually expanded from Pataliputra (Patna), the capital of the kingdom, located in the Ganges River basin, until Ashoka managed to unify the entire territory of India for the first time in history.

Towards the year 262 B.C., eight years after his accession to the throne, Ashoka undertook a military campaign to annex this territory that was crowned with success. According to the estimates of the king himself, 150.000 people were deported and another 100.000 died, many more who subsequently succumbed to their wounds. By stepping on the battlefield and seeing with his own eyes the mountains of piled up corpses and the tears of the vanquished, Ashoka understood that the conquest of a kingdom meant death and destruction for all, whether friends or enemies, and misfortune for those captives that they would be far from their families and their land.

After seeing this massacre, a new Ashoka emerged, a sovereign who, truly contrite, wished to purify his soul in the desolation that he had provoked with a single order of his. This was expressed in one of his edicts engraved on stone: "The beloved of the gods felt remorse for the conquest of Kalinga, because when a country is conquered for the first time killings, death and deportation of people are very sad for the beloved of the gods and weigh heavily on his soul ».

For a year and a half, Ashoka invited scholars from all over the kingdom to participate with him in intense philosophical debates, seeking the peace that his life as a warrior had denied him. But it would be Buddhism, the influential contemplative religion that had emerged in northern India in the sixth century B.C., that would calm their concerns. In the tenth year of his reign, Ashoka decided to go on a pilgrimage. For 256 days, the king and his entourage traveled on foot along the banks of the Ganges to reach Sárnath, a suburb on the outskirts of Varanasi (Benares), where Buddha gave his first sermon. Near the sacred city of the Hindus was the town of Bodh Gaya, the place where the bodhi tree was raised, under which Prince Siddartha Gautama became Buddha, "the Enlightened One." At the sight of the tree, Ashoka felt that he himself achieved that enlightened serenity he needed and erected a temple right there. Thereafter he called himself Dharma Ashoka or "Ashoka the pious".

Condemning the glory that had reached with the arms, Ashoka decided to dedicate itself to preach its new faith: the dharma or the doctrine of the piety. Ashoka thus tried to humanize a power that he had exercised ruthlessly at the beginning of his reign, becoming the first sovereign in history to expressly renounce conquests and violence. Thus at least he is remembered in the Indian historical tradition, although historians remember that, despite his laments, Ashoka never renounced the conquered kingdom of Kalinga or the use of force, rather than moderate, against the rebellious peoples of the border.

Ashoka founded hundreds of monasteries and sanctuaries, improved communication routes between the main capitals, planted trees to shade walkers and planted the empire of wells to quench their thirst, and erected hospitals and rest areas for the solace of those who entered in their domains and went on a pilgrimage to the holy places of India. Concerned about the international spread of Buddhism, Ashoka asked his own son, Mahendra, to lead a preaching mission to Sri Lanka and sent ambassadors to the distant courts of the West, such as that of King Ptolemy II Philadelphus in Alexandria.

Sometimes, the pacifism of Ashoka has been blamed for weakening the State and propitiating its decadence and dissolution, since, in fact, after its death the Mauryan Empire soon disintegrated. In fact, one tradition maintains that in his later years Ashoka lost control of the kingdom. His grandson, Samprati, alarmed by Ashoka's continued donations to the Buddhist order, forbade the royal treasurer from giving him more funds and finally dethroned him. Despite this, in contemporary India, Ashoka has always been remembered as the most important king in its history. He was the unifier of the country and incarnated in an incomparable way the Buddhist ideal of the universal monarch, chakravartin, "a king who will reign over this world surrounded by seas without oppression, after conquering it without violence, with his justice".

7. What was the long-term impact of Martin Luther?s break from the Catholic Church? What do we see today as a result of his "rev
Marat540 [252]

The long-term impact of Martin Luther's break from the Catholic Church was the division of Christianity into many factions and groups.  We see many Protestant churches today as a result of his "revolution."

Luther had not intended to break away from the Roman Catholic Church; he wanted to reform it and restore it to what he saw as a proper foundation on the Bible.  But Rome did not agree with him, and ultimately a new church, the Lutheran Church, formed.  There also were other Protestant reformers, and other new churches developed from their teachings and influence.

Another point might be made:  Luther emphasized the individual's freedom of conscience to believe what he thought the Word of God was saying.  Though Luther did not intend it as a political movement, this began thoughts in the direction of freedom of speech and conscience in social life.  The historian Philip Schaff has said that the Reformation "marks the end of the Middle Ages and the beginning of modern times. Starting from religion, it gave, directly or indirectly, a mighty impulse to every forward movement, and made Protestantism the chief propelling force in the history of modern civilization."

Are puerto ricans of african descent? explain.
Finger [1]

The population of Puerto Rico traces its ancestry in mostly the Spanish colonists and the indigenous people of the island. They have mixed over time and gradually created a mestizo population, which became the dominant population on the island and still is. There are of course some other influences in the gene pool of the Puerto Ricans, with some of it being from the African continent because of the African slaves that were brought, but it is a small minority, and it is also a population that has been heavily mixed.
