Around 250 b. c., thousands of stupas were built in the gupta empire. what is a stupa?

A Stupa is actually a dome shaped Buddhist monument or we can say a hemispherical Buddhist structure which houses the relics of Buddha. These relics were worshiped by the followers of Buddhism. Another Buddhist monument called Chaitya or prayer hall usually contains a stupa. Thousands of stupas were built during the ancient India.

i think the answer is: cuba wanted to be independent from spain, and the u.s. wanted to end spanish rule in the west.

after a more than a decade and a half of combating al qaeda (aq) in afghanistan and pakistan,

the united states faces a diverse array of threats from al qaeda affiliates in the middle east and

africa. while senior al qaeda figures reportedly remain based in pakistan, the network includes

a number of affiliates across the middle east and africa including al qaeda in the arabian

peninsula (aqap), al qaeda in the islamic maghreb (aqim), and al shabaab. al qaeda also

retains a small but possibly growing presence in afghanistan. u.s. officials have stated that al

qaeda still maintains a foothold in syria through its ties to hay’at tahrir al sham (formerly

known as the nusra front), though the exact nature of that relationship may be evolving. this

report examines the threat posed by al qaeda affiliates in the middle east and africa as described

by u.s. officials and outside observers, as well as the u.s. approach to date in responding to these

threats. this was all i could find hope this : )
