What was a result of the Muslim invasion of the Indus valley?

It established an Islamic empire.


How far to the East did the Greek armies push?

Alexander the Great crossed the Indus River in present day Pakistan.


Who conquered the Indus valley from King Darius and the Persian Empire?

Apparently Alexander the Great conquered it and gave it to the local King Porus.Another view:That is the conundrum. The Persian Empire had ceased to exist by then and Darius had been murdered by his own princes. Alexander was in fact attacking King Porus to strip him of the northern Indus Valley. He allegedly defeated Porus and amazingly gave it back to him and threw in the added gift of the kingdom of his own loyal ally King Taxiles who had helped him defeat Porus. This is a befuddled story which suggests that Alexander didn't defeat Porus or conquer the Indus Valley.


Is it true or false that both the Persians and Alexander the Great invaded the Indus Valley?

Yes - the Persians in the 6th Century BCE, the Macedonians in the 4th Century BCE.


Was the Persian Empire driven out of the Indus River valley by Magadha?

There are several eras of Magadha - if you are asking about the Maurya Empire, it was established as far as the Indus valley by 322 BCE, by which time the Persian Empire had been taken over by Alexander the Great's Macedonian Empire which itself had already unravelled in the east by the time of his death in 323 BCE. So no, the Persian Empire had ceased to exist by the time the Mauryan Empire took over the Indus. Alexander was fortunate his soldiers refused to go east into India as he would have run into the overwhelming power of the expanding Mauryans and been exterminated.
