Question
Hi im doing this for a project and would very much appreciate an answer on this question. Somewhere around 15-20 sentences if possible.

Compare and contrast formation and collapse of AT LEAST TWO of the following three empires, the Mauryan empire, the empire of Alexander The Great and the Roman empire in the WEST

Answer
This was a TALL order! There are great differences between these empires, MUCH more than can be expressed in 15 to 20 sentences. Besides you do have VERY GOOD presentations on all three empires on Wikipedia which you will find if you do Google searches on each of them (Alexander the Great, Mauryan Empire and the West Roman Empire - but you will also have to check the Roman Empire in total at least from the time of Constantine the Great and onwards. I can not do anything better than those presentations so I do suggest that you go straight to them.
