How did the Assyrians and the Persians consolidate their power and control the subjects of their empires?
The Assyrians exchanged aristocracies between areas, so the new foreign rulers would not be sympathetic to the people under their control, and so not lead or tolerate revolts (that is what happened with the 10 northern tribes of Israel). Their successor the Babylonians followed the same policy (that is what happened to the aristocracy of the Judah and Benjamin). The Persians simply divided their empire into 20 provinces with Persian governors who oversaw the cities, tribes and principalities which were left under their traditional rulers.
Why was an official policy of religious tolerance more crucial to the stability of the Persian Empire than it was to the Greek civilization?
The Greek world had a fairly uniform religion and set of gods. The Persian Empire, stretching from Egypt to central Asia, covered a wide variety of peoples and religions, and it was not the Persian policy to incite religious revolts when they were trying to establish a peaceful and prosperous empire.
Why did the Greeks defeat Xerxes?
Xerxes was disturbed by the interference of the Greek city-states of mainland Greece who supported revolts by Greek cities within his empire. He bribed some cities in Central Greece ti fall into line, but the Southern city-stated refused, so he set out to subdue them and install friendly governments in them, and install a Persian governor to supervise them. This invasion was at first successful, getting as far as Athens, but his fleet was defeated by a combined Greek fleet at Salamis in 480 BCE. Elimination of the Persian fleet, which was the first strategy of the Greek alliance, took away the Persian amphibious threat to the Greek cities which had kept their armies at home to defend against this. The Persians were able to pick the cities off one by one. So the cities were now abled to send their armies out to join up and defeat the Persian army the following spring at Plataia, while their fleet finished off the Persian fleet at Mycale in Asia Minor where the remnant was holed up. Another effect of the naval victory at Salamis had been that the Persian fleet could no longer protect the Persian supply fleet which sustained the army, and half the Persian army had to go home, which gave the Greek army an edge against the reduced Persian army and it's Greek allies at the deciding battle at Plataia in 479 BCE. With the Persian main forces defeated, the invasion was over, and the war moved on to isolated engagements in the eastern Mediterranean over the next 30 years, until the Persians gave up and left the Greeks to go back to their usual fighting amongst each other.

Why the revolts are failed?
Revolts can fail due to a lack of organization, weak leadership, insufficient support from the population, violent suppression by authorities, or inadequate resources to sustain the movement. Factors such as internal divisions, external intervention, or a lack of clear goals can also contribute to the failure of revolts.

Who was the Persian War between?
Initially born out of Persian suppression of revolts by Greek city-states within its empire, it widened to the Persian Empire versus a coalition of southern Greek cities led by Sparta which resisted this intrusion. After defeat of a Persian invasion, Athens formed a coalition of front-line city-states (Delian League) which continued to resist Persian attempts at enforcing peace, until Persia gave up and left them to go back to their usual disruptive internal fighting.
