One major difference in Cyrus's rule was his policy of tolerance towards conquered peoples and their religions. He allowed them to practice their own customs and beliefs, which fostered a sense of inclusivity and helped maintain stability within the empire. Additionally, Cyrus employed a more decentralized system of governance, allowing local rulers to maintain power in their own regions, which helped to prevent outright rebellion and allowed for greater administrative efficiency.

What made Cleopatra's rule different from the other Pharaohs?

Basically her rule was no different from other Pharaohs. All compartments of government were firmly established and continued functioning as they always had. She used Egypt as a money tree to bankroll her extravagant lifestyle just as her predecessors did. The only real difference was that Cleopatra's ambition caused her to overreach and battle Rome with the idea of winning and consequently ruling the Roman empire. Big mistake.


Why did Cyrus make the biggest contribution as Persian leader?

Cyrus' conquest was relatively humane compared to empires preceding his, such as the Babylonians and Assyrians. He allowed many areas of his empire a great deal of autonomy, rather than centrally controlling things. This distributed leadership allowed Persia to cover a greater geographical area than previous empires in that era and still be fairly stable, since most of its subjects were content to remain under Persian rule. Persian law was more codified and less arbitrary than previous empires; the king's seal declared approval of law which could only be reversed by further approved decrees -- not quite rule of law but going in that direction. Perhaps the biggest contribution to history was founding an empire that would allow Alexander the Great to conquer a large amount of territory while essentially needing only to fight one power. The unified nature of the empire is apparent by the fact that there was little indigenous resistance following Alexander's conquest, although of course it did begin to fall apart after Alexander's death.
