From Warlike
Q130564623
Kanishka's Central Asian Campaign refers to the military conquests led by Kanishka, the Kushan emperor, in the 2nd century CE. His expansionist efforts focused on Bactria, a key region in Central Asia, comprising parts of modern-day Afghanistan, Uzbekistan, and Tajikistan. This campaign secured Kushan dominance over strategic Silk Road trade routes and facilitated the cultural and religious spread, notably of Buddhism, throughout Central Asia. It also marked the final decline of Greco-Bactrian and Indo-Scythian powers in the region.
