Best Answer

Cyrus the Great took Persia from being a vassal state of Media to take over Media and use the combined power to take over the Babylonian Empire and extend control through the Middle East. This laid the foundation for his successors Cambyses and Darius to expand into Egypt and as far as today's Pakistan.
