The Persian Empire faced several notable failures, including the inability to effectively manage its vast territories, which led to revolts and rebellions in regions like Egypt and Babylon. The empire's overextension contributed to its downfall, particularly evident in the disastrous invasion of Greece, culminating in defeats at battles such as Marathon and Salamis. Additionally, the failure to maintain a strong naval presence hindered their ability to control trade routes and protect their interests across the Mediterranean. These blunders ultimately weakened the empire, paving the way for its conquest by Alexander the great.
