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 were the Persians able to keep up such a large empire?

The Persians were able to maintain a vast empire due to their innovative administrative practices, which included a network of satrapies (provinces) governed by local rulers who reported to the central authority. They also established efficient communication and road systems, such as the Royal Road, facilitating rapid movement of troops and information. Additionally, the Persians practiced a policy of relative tolerance toward the cultures and religions of the conquered peoples, fostering loyalty and reducing resistance. This combination of effective governance, infrastructure, and cultural flexibility allowed them to manage and sustain their large empire.
