Question
Answer the following question briefly:
How did Chandragupta Vikramaditya strengthen his power and position through war?
Solution
Chandragupta extended the western boundaries of his empire to Arabian Sea by defeating the Saka ruler. This was a very important victory because it gave the Guptas control over the three great seaports on the western coast. These were outlets to vast overseas trade. This led to economic growth and prosperity. He moved his capital to Ujjain.
