Cyrus the Great, the founder of the Achaemenid Empire, conquered several peoples during his reign, including the Medes, Lydians, and Babylonians. His conquest of the Medes around 550 BCE unified Persia and Media, establishing the foundation of his empire. The defeat of Lydia in 546 BCE expanded his territory further west, while the capture of Babylon in 539 BCE marked a significant achievement, as he was seen as a liberator by the Babylonian people. These conquests laid the groundwork for one of the largest empires in ancient history.
