How did the Persians build their empire?
Answer 1
The Persian Empire expanded, as was typical for the period, by conquering the territories of neighboring states and annexing them to the Persian Empire. Once these territories were conquered, the Persians appointed many former governors from the defeated regime into positions of authority in the new province or satrapi. As a condition of surrender, the army of the defeated state was incorporated into the overall Persian army, resulting in a Persian army that became larger and larger every time a country was defeated.
While Persia was certainly a dictatorship, non-Persians in the empire were allowed a degree of religious and cultural tolerance that many modern countries have not even acceded.
Answer 2
First they took over their previous overlord Media, then with the Medes as allies they took over the Babylonian Empire, From there they spread into Asia Minor and Thrace, and to Libya and Egypt in Africa. In the east they took central Asia and today's Pakistan. They then consolidated the empire by dividing it into 20 provinces (satrapies) with a governor in control responsible to the king and his council.

What were Reza Shah Pahlavi's goals?
He wanted to change it into a western-style society. It might have been feasible - in the Fifties and Sixties there was a much more 'moderate' style of Islam with a mostly limited influence on public life, modes of dress etc. Only, the extent and speed of his modernizations antagonized especially the working class and the clergy. His inability to succesfully deal with this groundswell of resentment finally proved his undoing.

Up until Ayatolla Khomeini overthrew the Iranian government in 1979, Iran constituted the world's oldest sustained monarchy - over 2,500 years old in 1971. Kings of Iran (or Persia, as it was known before 1935) included King Darius, Xerxes and ArteXerxes. Xerxes is the King remembered for ruling over the largest empire on Earth until he was overthrown by Greek King Alexander the Great.
Xerxes is also known as the King who attacked Greece and fought the Spartans at the pivotal Battle of Thermopylae. That battle is considered one of the most single important events in Western history. Had the Spartans not sacrificed themselves at the Thermopylae Pass, and their fellow Greeks not defeated the Persian Army weeks later, Western ideals of Freedom, Government and Society would likely not exist as it does today. Western countries owe much to the Greeks of old.
More recently, the last Emperor, or Shahanshah (Shah), to sit on the Persian throne was Shah Mohammed Reza Pahlavi, of the Pahlavi Dynasty. While a staunch ally and friend of Western Nations (the US in particular), his secret police force, known as Savak, became infamous in Iran for its torture methods and treatment of civilians. It was Savak and the rapid pace of modernization to western culture and ideas that led to the Shah's downfall.
Contrary to popular belief, the Iranian people are extremely friendly - they are right now just under tyrannical rule. Which brings up the old adage "Be careful what you wish for". They were so adamant to get rid of the Shah and the monarchy, that they never considered the consequences of Khomeini taking power. They and the world are still paying for that mistake.
The Persian Monarchy line still exists in exile - the Shah's son and wife, Crown Prince Reza Pahlavi, lives about 40 miles from me here in the D.C. area, and his mother Empress Farah, lives in California. He also has several sisters and children, though one of his sisters, Leila, died in 2006. He constantly works toward betterment of lives in Iran, and the end to torture and tyrannical rule there. He was living in Texas in 1979 training to be a fighter pilot when his father's government was overthrown. While I don't personally agree with some of his political views, I do admire his unwavering support for his people.
While some would talk peace with Iran, the western press doesn't bother to report on the true conditions there. Execution of children has long been an approved punishment for crimes or minor infractions, real or implied by the government. Women who have been abused by their husbands and have fought back, may receive either executions or dismemberment. As bad as things were even when I lived there in 1970, the Shah was never that cruel.
Since that time, Iran has been ruled by totally inept mullahs and low ranking officials. Most people of education left Iran, and things are almost at a tipping point now where another internal revolution is entirely possible.

Iran has always been been an imperial power as opposed to a colonial power, so while it has had periods of expansion (with numerous former kingdoms in its empires), it has never had colonies. Iran still has a territorial dispute with United Arab Emirates over three small islands in the Persian Gulf (Greater Tunb, Lesser Tunb, and Abu Musa), but this is not colonization as they form an integral part of Iran.
