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 did the Persians turn on the Babylonians?
The Persians did turn on the Babylonians because they wanted to enlarge their territories.
Why are Persians so hairy?
