• The reason behind the conflict amongst the Mahajanapadas was politically and internally motivated.
• The conglomeration of the 16 individually formed settlements or janapadas was called the Mahajanapadas, who ruled during the sixth to fourth centuries and included kingdoms like Anga, Kamboja, Vatsa, Magadha etc.
• The continuous territorial expansion led to internal conflicts between them.
• Further, annexations and incorporation of the individual janapadas by the powerful Mahajanapadas also led to wars between them.
• The chief also fought with each other to show off their power and financial strength.
