Chola+Empire

  __Chola Empire __ Southern India - 800s C.E. to 1279 C.E. By Megan and Bianca Mentor - Anne Rycabel  The Chola Empire was located in Southern India during the 9th to 13th centuries. The Cholas had a very complex government system and with it a strong economy. Their empire remained strong because of this as well as their trading relations. The Cholans also conquered the surrounding regions and under Rajaraja I (reign. 984 - 1014) the Chola empire occupied all of Southern India. However their empire came crashing down through the attacks of the Pandyas and the rise of the Pandyas and Hoysalas.
