Persian Empire

At different times, under different ruling families, there were several different Persian Empires. Usually, the term refers to the Achaemenid dynasty empire founded by Cyrus the Great (559BC - 530BC) which was eventually conquered by Alexander the Great. To rule such a large empire, new groundbreaking systems were set up which influenced all who came after.

Is greek victory over Persians associated with the Hellenistic period?

No.

The Hellenistic period was over a century later when Alexander the Great's empire was split up after his death by his generals into separate kingdoms, which have been given the modern name of Hellenistic Kingdoms - Egypt, Macedonia and Syria, and hence it was the Hellenistic period until they were absorbed into the Roman Empire in the First Century BCE.

What effect did the Peloponnesian War have on the Greek city-states?

What was the value of the horse in military campaigns of the Persian Empire?

The Persian cavalry gave the army an advantage of mobility over the Greek city-state armise which were basically heavy armoured infantry. The cavalry was able to attack the flanks and rear of the infantry formations, which had to keep to broken ground to nullify the cavalry.

What were five things that caused the Persian Empire to fall?

Alexander's strategy of capturing the Persian Mediterranean ports left them without a navy to threaten Greece and so left him free to concentrate all his Macedonian and Greek forces against the Persian army.

Persian infantry could not stand up to Greek armoured infantry. Alexander's execution of the Greek mercenaries in the service of Persia after the battle of Granicus deterred the flow of Greek armoured infantry to fill this void in the Persian army.

Alexander's capture of the Persian treasury after the battle of Issus gave him the funds to pay and feed his cash-strapped army, and keep it intact and augmented for the deciding battle at Gaugamela.

Alexander's integration of armoured infantry-light infantry-cavalry provided an effective counter-balance to the dominant Persian cavalry.

Alexander organised his campaigns in line with the seasons, making his moves at harvest times to overcme the impossible logistics problems of providing food and forage across long land distances in a pre-motorised age.

Explain the Greek-Persian War?

The Greek cities of Asia Minor, part of the Persian Empire, revolted in 499 BCE. This was put down by 494 BCE, however the mainland Greece cities of Eretria and Athens had supported the revolt so the Persian king Darius, decided to punish the two cities as a warning to the other Mainland cities of Greece to stay out of his territory in Asia, and sent an expeditionary force to capture them and appoint local tyrants to continue to keep them under control. When this was turned back at the Battle of Marathon in 490 BCE, he decided to bring all the Greek cities under control, leading to the failed invasion by his son Xerxes 480-479 BCE.

After this defeat, Sparta, which had led resistance, wanted to evacuate the Asian Greek cities back to Mainland Greece. Athens wanted to drive the Persians back in Asia Minor and led a consortium of 180 cities (Delian League) in spasmodic warfare over the the next 30 years, until the Persians gave up in 449 BCE, and left the Greek cities to go back to their usual fighting each other.

Interestingly, the Spartan solution was adopted over 2,000 years later after World War 1, when the large Greek population of Asia Minor, under Turkish rule, was evacuated back to Greece in 1922 after the Greek forces were defeated.

What factors contributed most to the expansion of both the Persian and Greek empires A. Industrial productivity B. Military conquest C. Independent city-states D. Religious tolerance?

Military Conquest was the factor that contributed to the expansion of both empires. Religious Tolerance allowed for the perseverance of these larger empires, but did not promote their continued expansion. The other two choices (Industrial Productivity and Independent City-States) were not helpful at all, the former because Industrial Productivity had not yet been invented and the latter because the independence of the city-states was an obstacle to imperial expansion, not a benefit.
