Chandragupta Maurya wanted to gain control of Magadha, the place where the Nanda empire was based, to end the Nanda dictatorship. He assembled young men who were angry about Magadha’s dishonest leadership and gathered supplies for his army. Chandragupta’s army came up with a strategy. They announced a battle and drew the Magadhan army away from Magadha. Meanwhile, spies bribed Nanda’s corrupt general. Chandragupta’s allies threatened the prime minister until Chandragupta Maurya officially became Magadha’s new king. That war ended the Nanda dynasty and began the Maurya empire.

    Syphilis is perhaps one of the most historically widespread and deadly diseases to exist. While the origins of syphilis are disputed, it is well understood that syphilis has been a deadly disease affecting populations across the globe for hundreds of years (Tampa et al. 2015). Despite its prevalence, very little was understood about the disease until the 20th century; in 1905, the organism that causes syphilis, Treponema pallidum, was discovered by a Prussian zoologist named Fritz Schaudinn (Souza 2005). Only four years later, in 1909, a German scientist named Paul Ehrlich and the members of his lab discovered a cure for the disease, originally named Ehrlich 606 due to it being the 606th arsenic compound he’d tested, and scientifically known as arsphenamine (Yarnell 2005). Only months after its discovery, Ehrlich 606 began to be mass produced and marketed to the public under its new name, Salvarsan (Yarnell 2005). Salvarsan then became the globally most prescribed drug until the 1940 public release of penicillin (Zaffiri et al. 2012).

  • Atman Research Paper

    355 Words  | 1 Pages

    Atman is the core within a person, it is the ultimate thing or soul inside an individual and this Atman goes from lifetime to lifetime, meaning it will be reborn, in another life, as something else. Brahman is above everything; it is the ultimate essence. The reason Atman equals Brahman is because they both connect to become one when an individual achieves Moksha (liberation). The goal is for the Atman to return to the Brahman, which means the soul reaches liberation. The individual reaches liberation when its karma is balanced off. Atman equaling Brahman is distinct from the Buddha’s understanding of Anatman because in Buddhism, Anatman has no self or soul. Every individual is made up of five skandhas and Anatman is the result of the skandhas.
