The Persian Empire is considered one of the most successful empires at its time. What made the Persian Empire so unique and successful, was because of how sophisticated there government was. Like other empires the Persian Empire had a religion. This made the people of Persia freely think about their ruler and help the empire out in any way. The Persian empire compared to preceding empires, (such as the Assyrian Empire etc) were relatively less oppressive and abusive to their people. This prevented the empire from collapsing that easily. Which is one reason why they advanced their rule for another 200 years (1,429 years in Dynasty rule (1979)). As the ruler, I would implement the ideas and Philosophies that the Persian empire used in order to have a strong and successful rule. For example the ruler would allow conquered peoples to maintain their culture, and create a multicultural capital city that contained influences from all over the empire. Though they are still ruled over their subjects, the multiculturalism will offered a different way to run an empire. The ruler and the government will also treat the people relatively respectful and practice their ways in the empire. The ruler will also implement a monotheistic religion which praises one God only. As a ruler, a skilled military society will also be beneficial to dominant imperial power. To avoid the mistakes of the Assyrians, who attempted to rule everything from a central location, the ruler will also divide the
Currently, the empire is divided into 20 different ethnic groups. It can be a great thing to be diverse when done correctly, but this is not the best way to deal with the situation. By incentivizing people to spread you not only limit the chance of destruction but also force people to benefit from others. Different skillsets can combine to make an ideal group. This will bring the dying Persian culture back to life. Everyone will know people with the Persian culture and after experiencing it; the culture might rub off on them. Persians are a minority and this change will help make the culture known and still keep diversity. Another benefit would be people less likely to rebel because of paying tribute because they will be with less people of the same laws, religion and language. With a strong known culture, small chances of rebellion and people benefiting from each other this empire will success like no other civilization has ever
The day Cyrus the Great established the Persian empire in the year 550 B.C.E, soon became a place where Greece and Rome were to be influenced by in certain circumstances. A civilization enriched of local customs and advanced iron technology, the Persians had developed an early monotheistic religion- Zoroastrianism. Conquered by a Greek educator, Alexander the Great, the Sassanid empire was brought up during Rome's imperial centuries. In 1700 B.C.E, the Greeks (who are Indo-Europeans) took over the Greek peninsula. From then on, the increase of civilization began to grow during 800- 600 B.C.E all due to strong city-states; turning out to be very advantageous to the Greeks because each had their own government and their geography didn't quite
The Immortals were an elite regiment of handpicked men trained from childhood into elite warriors. They were imperial guards of the Achaemenid Sahs. Achaemenid brick reliefs in Persepolis represent the Immortals as wearing elaborate robes and golden jewellery, although these garments would have only been worn for ceremonial occasions as they would be impractical in warfare. Cyrus the Great was the founder of the Immortals. During Cyrus’s conquests, 10,000 of his finest troops were gathered together to create a new regiment-the Immortals. These were all Iranian men who loyally served the King to their death. Only Iranians could join the Immortal regiment. They were trained from childhood
Over the years there have been many cultures with their own set of rules. Their own set laws which run their government and help run an empire. From around 700 B.C to 330 B.C there were three different rulers, the Assyrians, Babylon’s, and Persians. The way these three empires ruled wasn’t bad but I just felt that the way the Persians ruled was much better than the others. What made the Persians greater than the rest was their leader, Cyrus the Great. For starters on why Cyrus the Great governance was better is that he was respectful to other cultures. He didn’t believe that one culture was better than the other, instead felt that everyone as equals. During his rule he freed the Jews and keeps their religion and customs. He gave respect
Greece and Persia Empires Greece and Persia were two of the four empires that emerged along the Mediterranean Sea, Central Asia and East Asia. Geography of both of these empires were very important in how the empires came to be. “Geography of the Aegean region included rugged mountains, deep valleys with poor, rocky soils, and narrow coastal areas, making the region less than suitable for the production of staple food crops such as wheat, but ideal for grapes and olives, which grew well throughout Greece.” (Historical Overview of Ancient Greece, 2018, p. 41) Greece also focused on maritime trade instead of relying on just a few staple crops, this eventually became the most contested waterway in the ancient world.
The Latins settle on a series of hills along the Tiber River. This proved to be a good choice of location, as the natural land around them provided protection and good weather. Historians believe these people to be the first Romans. Romans overthrow and banish Tarquinius the Proud, a harsh ruler. They created the Republic- a type of government ruled by the will of the people.
Our amazing empire is named Tiran. It is located in Egypt. We started in 5000 B.C. Tiran is home to 553 citizens. In Tiran, we practice a monotheistic religion, which is Judaism. We are a Democracy. Although we still have a religious leader by the name of Rabbis. Our President is Mohamed Morsi. We are right next to the Nile River, which is our major trade route. Our civilization is the best because we have the Nile River, our citizens have freedom, and we are a Democracy.
The Persian Empire was the most powerful state in the world. With most great empires there are great leaders which helped with the rise of the empire. Under great leaders the empire was filled with resources. But all great things must come to an end which strikes the fall of a great empire.
One significant contribution made by Darius I was the administrative and financial organization that was not only viable for the Achaemenid Empire kings, but also for future empires of the region. He completed the organization of the empire into satrapies, initiated by Cyrus the Great, and fixed the annual tribute due from each province. During Darius’ reign, ambitious projects were undertaken to promote imperial trade and commerce. Coinage, weights, and measures were standardized and land and sea routes were developed.
The ancient Persians were one of the largest civilizations to date. The empire itself was first started in 550 BC when a man named Cyrus joined the neighboring tribes and his own together. He also wrote the first charter of human rights. Human rights today are one of the fundamentals of society itself. The Persian Empire lasted from 550 Bc to around 330 Bc.
The Roman Empire was a one of worlds greatest empires. Their ideas and contributions to today's education system is phenomenal. They adopted the culture of Ancient Greece, but their empire was based on military power and Roman laws. They spread their languages, culture, and architecture. All of the many emperors has great impacts on the rising empire.

Persepolis , the empire’s capital founded by Darius I in the 6th century B.C. The modern capital, Tehran, is home to opulent Golestan Palace, seat of the Qajar Dynasty (1794–1925), plus modern landmarks such as the 435m-high
1)The Persian Empire expanded by conquering the territories of neighboring states and making them part of the Persian Empire. Once these territories were conquered, the Persians appointed many former governors from the defeated regime into positions of authority in the new province or satrapi. As a condition of surrender, the army of the defeated state was incorporated into the overall Persian army, resulting in a Persian army that became larger and larger every time a country was defeated. While Persia was certainly a dictatorship, non-Persians in the empire were allowed a degree of religious and cultural tolerance that many modern countries have not even acceded.
The question is not what empire was the most successful but how did they do it. An empire is a kingdom is so powerful that they can conquer the kingdoms around them who have different cultures and it becomes multi-ethnic. The Persian empire is said by many to be by far the most successful. They are known for many different things including creating the road system and shaping what we know today as the middle east. There are many different reasons the Persians were able to grow to control so much land and be so large. The basis of the Persian empire’s great success was built on six major elements; Administration, communication, integration, religion, local culture and lastly, their military.
