when chandragupta overthrew the nanda empire, he took control of much of
northeastern south asia. around 305 bce, he made a treaty with a greek leader
that expanded the empire to the northeast. later, chandraguptas son bindusara
became emperor and conquered even more territory to the south. by the time
emperor ashoka conquered the kalinga region around 260 bce, the empire had
spread to control nearly all of south asia. it took about 61 years for the
mauryan empire to spread.

Explanation:

Answer:

northeast\>northwest; 61\>61 - 321 to 260 is 61 years but Chandragupta took Nanda Empire in 321, Ashoka conquered Kalinga in 260. 321 - 260 = 61. But Chandragupta's son Bindusara (297 - 272) also expanded. So total expansion time is 321 - 260 = 61. But text says "It took about 61 years for the Mauryan Empire to spread." which is correct. Wait no - Chandragupta took Nanda in 321, Ashoka conquered Kalinga in 260. 321 - 260 = 61. But Bindusara (297 - 272) also expanded. So total expansion time is 321 - 260 = 61. But text says "It took about 61 years for the Mauryan Empire to spread." which is correct. Wait no - the error is "northeast" (should be northwest as per map note "ca. 305 BCE: Chandragupta agrees to a treaty with a Greek leader and expands the empire to the northwest")
