The Persians were tribes who settled in the south of today's Iran. Initially they were subjects of the Medes, but asserted dominance over them and with this combined strength took over the Babylonian Empire, Assyria and then the whole of the Middle East, Egypt and Central Asia.

This lasted for two hundred years until Alexander the great invaded and took it over, converting it into an empire of his own.
