Best Answer

Persia was a tribal grouping in the Middle East which was subject to Media. In the mid-6th Century BCE, under its king Cyrus the Great, it absorbed the Medes.

With this combined strength Persia progressively absorbed the entire Middle East and Central Asia. Cyrus' son Cambyses added Egypt, and Darius I added western India and Thrace by the early 5th Century BCE.
