The Saka—Satavahana wars were a series of conflicts between the Western Satraps and the Satavahanas in the first and second century CE. Both sides achieved success at varying points during the conflicts, but in the end, the Satavahanas prevailed. However, constant wars with the Sakas severely weakened them and was a major contributor in their fall.
