Now, Bindusara is able to conquer more of India. In particular, he starts growing the empire into the south. But Bindusara is not able to conquer the kingdom of Kalinga. Bindusara dies in around 273 or 272 BCE. And then a civil war erupts for who should take charge. And the civil war is essentially amongst the sons of Bindusara. But the son who is victorious ends up being Ashoka.
