The empire established by Sargon around 2350 BC is known as the Akkadian Empire. It was the first empire in history, uniting various city-states in Mesopotamia under a centralized rule. Sargon's conquests and administrative innovations allowed the Akkadian Empire to thrive for over a century before it eventually declined.

he Persian Wars brought Athens to a position and strength and prosperity on the back of the anti--Persian league which it led in the later stages o the war, and which it then turned into an empire of its own. This led to organised divisions in the Greek world, and devastating wars, and paved thay for Macedonia to achieve dominance, and use this power to seize the Persian Empire. Rome's destruction of Carthage in the Punic Wars gave it control of the Western Mediterranean, which it expanded to control of the Eastern Mediterranean as the Greek world continued its infighting and so divided and weakened itself that it made an easy target for Roman takeover.
