The death of Darius III was pivotal for Alexander's conquest of Persia as it effectively removed the central figure of Persian resistance, destabilizing the Persian Empire and undermining its leadership. Darius's assassination by his own men highlighted the disarray within the Persian ranks, which allowed Alexander to exploit the resulting power vacuum. Without a unifying leader, the Persian forces struggled to mount a cohesive defense against Alexander's well-coordinated military strategies. Consequently, Darius's death accelerated the collapse of Persian authority and facilitated Alexander's swift victories across the region.
Before Darius I, Persia was ruled by Cyrus the Great, who founded the Achaemenid Empire and expanded it significantly during his reign from 559 to 530 BCE. Following Cyrus, his son Cambyses II took the throne, ruling from 530 to 522 BCE, and he is known for his conquest of Egypt. After Cambyses, there was a brief period of instability and a power struggle before Darius I ascended to the throne.
