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.
