I maybe think its b im sorry if its wrong
King Ashoka was a Indian emperor
King Cyrus was a Persian emperor
King Cyrus was king at least 200 years before King Ashoka was.
Due to the time difference & different areas of empires, their tactics in fighting and the way they ruled the land were different.

During the Cold War, there were many proxy wars and the war in Afghanistan was one of them. The two parties fighting within the country were either supported by the U.S. or Soviet Union. As a result, the U.S. provided weapons to the jihadists against the Democratic Republic of Afghanistan who were supported by the Soviet Union. Later, Muslim extremists got a hold of these weapons and terrorist groups formed.
