Question

WHICH WAS THE MOST IMPORTANT MAHAJANAPADA

Answer 1

Answer:

Magadha became the most important mahajanapada in about two hundred years.

Explanation:

• The sixteen Mahajanapadas kingdoms existed in ancient India from the sixth to fourth centuries BCE.
• Magadha emerged as the mahajanapada with the most might and power.
• It was a mahajanapada ruled by the monarchy.
• Magadha was crossed by many rivers, including the Ganga and the Son. This was necessary for (a) transportation, (b) water supply, and (c) fertilisation of the soil.
• The Ganga River, which runs through it, irrigated the land and increased transportation. It was also able to capture and train elephants for its troops thanks to its outlying forest lands.
