The Kushan kingdom

Question

The Kushan kingdom

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The Kushan kingdom was an important conduit for Buddhism from India to China, as the Kushans were patrons of Buddhism and helped spread the religion through their extensive trade networks. The other options are incorrect: B) The Kushan kingdom was not inhabited by Mesopotamian peoples, but rather by various Central Asian tribes. C) The Kushan kingdom did not defeat the Aryan invaders of India, as the Kushans themselves were originally invaders from Central Asia. D) The Kushan kingdom was not installed by the Mongols, as the Mongols did not emerge until many centuries later. E) While the Kushan kingdom did rise to great heights during the third century C.E., this is not the best choice as it does not directly connect to the question about the kingdom's role in the spread of Buddhism.
