Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Chandragupta Maurya's reign was most significant for his centralization of the first unified empire in India. He established a strong centralized administration, including a system of spies and bureaucrats, which allowed for efficient governance and the expansion of his empire. This administrative system, known as the Mauryan Empire, was later adopted by subsequent rulers in India and influenced government structures in other South Asian countries. His alliance with Alexander the Great, adoption of Buddhism, production of sacred texts including the Upanishads, and engagement in long-distance trade with the Roman Empire were also significant, but not as significant as the centralization of his empire.
