Answer 1

The Gupta Empire rose quickly through military conquest. It reached its peak under the strong leadership of Chandragupta I and his successors. The empire expanded its territory through military campaigns and successful diplomacy. However, it declined slowly due to a combination of external attacks from the Huns and the Pushyamitras, as well as internal conflicts. The Gupta rulers faced continuous invasions from the Huns and struggled to defend their empire. Additionally, internal conflicts and power struggles weakened the empire and eventually led to its downfall.
