Explanation:

Result of the Battle

The result of the battle was clear, Ashoka emerged triumphant and conquered Kalinga. But there was a twist in the story afterwards-  

The Kalinga War resulted in massive loss of life and property. 1,00,000 soldiers were killed in the battle and 1,50,000 soldiers from Kalinga were captured by King Asoka, who later succumbed to death.

Ashoka successfully conquered Kalinga. It became the fifth province of the Magadha empire along with Prachaya, Avanti, Uttarapatha, and Dakshinapatha.

However, it was an empty and shallow victory, because of the massive loss of life and property.

The Kalinga War was the only battle in the world, where the conqueror gave up his sword and forbade his kingdom. Ashoka decided to embrace Buddhism and embarked upon a mission to spread Buddhism in India and neighboring countries.

He played a pivotal role in the spread of Buddhism from the Himalayas to Ceylon and from Greece to Burma.
