Answer:
He decided to give up fighting wars after the victory over Kalinga, because he was horrified by the violence and bloodshed in that. He is the only king in the history of the world who gave up conquest after winning a war.
The Kalinga War included one of the largest and bloodiest battles in Indian history.
Despite an unexpectedly fierce resistance from the Kalingans, the Maurya Empire claimed victory and annexed the state of Kalinga.Kalinga did not have a King as it was culturally run without any.
Ashoka had seen the bloodshed and felt that he was the cause of the destruction. The whole area of Kalinga was plundered and destroyed. Some of Ashoka's later edicts state that about 100,000 people died on the Kalinga side and an almost equal number of Ashoka's army.
He conquered almost all the provinces of this peninsula.
The love for peace :
The Kalinga War prompted Ashoka, already a non-engaged Buddhist, to devote the rest of his life to (non-violence) and to dharma-vijaya(victory through ).
Following the conquest of Kalinga, Ashoka ended the military expansion of the empire and began an era of more than 40 years of relative peace, harmony, and prosperity.
Histories of the region have attributed his devotion to Buddhism after the war to a woman who approached him and said “ Your actions have taken from me my father, husband, and son. Now what will I have left to live for?
