The concept of a standing army, a permanent and professional military force maintained during peacetime, is often attributed to the ancient Persian Empire under Cyrus the Great in the 6th century BCE. However, other ancient civilizations, such as the Romans and the Chinese during the Warring States period, also developed similar military structures. The idea evolved over time, with various cultures contributing to the concept of a professional standing army. Thus, while Cyrus is frequently credited, the development of standing armies was a gradual process influenced by multiple civilizations.
