Correct Answer: Kalinga war


Solution : The correct answer is the Kalinga war .

The Kalinga War was fought in 261 BC, and after that war, Ashoka renounced the violent path and embraced the teachings of Buddha (Ahimsa). Ashoka was moved by the massacre in the Kalinga war, and therefore, he abandoned the policy of physical occupation after the Kalinga war.
