Chandragupta gathered many young men from across Magadha and other provinces, who were upset over the corrupt and oppressive rule of king Dhana, as well as the resources necessary for his army to fight a long series of battles. Together with his rebel army Chandragupta Maurya overthrew the king of Magadha and united India’s many kingdoms into one empire—the Maurya.
Ashoka gains the throne
Channdragupta gives up being an emperor to follow his dreams of persuing jainism, a non-theistic religion founded in India in the 6th century BC that teaches salvation by perfection through successive lives, and non-injury to living creatures, and is noted for its ascetics.
Ashoka coverts to Buddhism and spreads its teachings
Power was passed down to Chandragupta’s son, Bindusara, who expanded the maurya empire farther across India.
Ashoka dies
After Bindusara's Death, Ashoka (Chandragupta’s grandson), fought his brothers to become the third Maurya emperor.
After a terrible war against the kingdom of Kalinga, Ashoka turned away from violence by rejecting the teaching of the Arthashastra and turning towards Buddhism. He replaced rule by force with rules based on dharma, or moral law.
I must spread Buddhism
Ashoka died peacefully in his sleep in 232 B.C.
