The Parthian–Kushan War refers to the war which took place between Kanishka I of the Kushan Empire and the Parthians. This war occurred before the second Kushan expedition on China.[1] In the Parthian-Kushan War, the King of Parthia attacked Kanishka I which led to his defeat & loss of 900,000 Parthians.[2][4]
Aftermath
After Kanishka I decided to launch the second Kushan expedition on China against Pan Yung, the son of Pan Chao. The expedition turned out to be successful as Pan Yung was defeated & Kanishka I annexed the provinces of Kashgar, Yarkhand and Khotan from the Chinese Empire. His Empire then stretched from central Asia to central India including Gandhara, Kashmir and the Pamir region.[1]
