Persian Empire

King Cyrus the Great, who spread the Empire through the Middle East to Central Asia.

Athens had determined to evacuate its people to cities in the Peloponnese for security, as they could not defend it against a Persian land and sea invasion. It decided to put all of it's effort in helping oppose the Persians at sea. It embarked its people of military age on its 180 warships and joined the Greek fleet in the Strait of Artemesion while a small land force of a dozen other cities held the nearby pass at Thermopylai.

The Greek plan was, by holding the pass, they would force the Persians to try to turn it with their navy, and the Greek fleet would engage and destroy the Persian fleet. If this could be achieved, the Persian fleet could no longer threaten the Greek cities with amphibious attack, and the Greek cities of the south could send out their armies, which were being kept at home to defend their cities against such a seaborne attack, to concentrate against the Persian army. And the lack of supplies sent by Persia to support its army in Greece would force a withdrawal.

The pass at Thermopylai was held for three days and on each day a sea battle was fought. The Greek fleet lost and retired to Salamis to try again there. The small force at Thermopylai, its mission completed, was withdrawn. The Spartan and Thespian contingents remained behind to cover their withdrawal and were lost.

So the battle of Thermopylai supported the Greek fleet which included the major Athenian component, rather than the fleet supporting Thermopylai. The sea battle was then refought at Salamis, near the deserted city of Athens, and the Greek fleet won this time.

The Persians had to send half their army home as they could not get enough food in such a poor country as Greece, and could no longer supply them by sea convoys now that the Greeks controlled the sea. The remainder of the Persian army was defeated the following spring at Plataia when the Greek cities sent out their armies, secure in the knowledge that the Persian fleet could no longer swoop on their home cities.

Cyrus the Great actively reached out to minorities and tribes in the areas he conquered and gave them a stake in the local government and the maintenance of their holy places. Since Cyrus' Empire did not seek to quash minority rights, but improve them, the conquered people aligned with the government forces, leading to general peace and security within the Persian Empire under his rule.

Some modern governments might learn something from his example.

The Greek city-states of Ionia were induced to revolt against Persian rule and two of ther mother-cities Eretria and Athens sent military contingents to support them. After putting dow the revolt, Persia sent a punitive expedition against them (which failed at Marathon).

It was the campaign by King of Kings Xerxes of Persia (Achaemenid dynasty), son of Darius the Great, who followed in the steps of his father and attacked the Western fronts of the Persian Empire to expand Persia and to conquer Greece.

There was a temporary spread of Greek culture, however later conquest from Rome and Asian peoples reverse much of this.

The Persian Empire was brought to an end by who?

They adopted a superior strategy of first defeating the Persian navy, and cutting off their sea supply line. The Persians had to send half their army home for the winter, and the Greeks united the city-state armies to defeat the depleted Persian army.

Alexander the Great took it over in a 10 year invasion 334 to 324 BCE.

The Persians did not defeat the Spartans. If you are talking about the engagement at Thermopylai, the Greek force holding the pass was evacuated and the Spartan element (King Leonidas' personal bodyguard) stayed behind to allow then to withdraw unscathed. They were eventually overwhelmed in carrying out this selfless sacrifice.

An effective road and sea transportation system.

A system of 20 provincial Persian governors who provided internal and external security and promoted production and trade.

The most effective tactic was bribery - to gain submission by bribing the opposition leaders to submit, or some to desert on the battlefield leaving the rest in disarray.

If it became necessary to fight, the object was to hold ground with infantry and use cavalry against the flanks and rear of the opposition.

A further means was to use allies or subject people to provide specialist support. The Persians were not seafaring, and their navy was mainly made up of Phoenicians, Egyptians and Greeks.

The use of combined naval and army forces enabled them to pose an amphibious threat against the home cities of opponents, who kept their main forces at home as protection, which gave the Persian army reduced opposition.

Islamic architecture is a term used to describe the architecture people created as an application of Islamic principles, and an application of how religion can shape buildings. in that sense Persian architecture is the interpretation of the people in the Persian region and how they shaped their building according to their own understanding to Islam. It is not purely shaped by Islam, but also influenced by the region culture and climate.

Note that Persian architecture is a regional architecture, where Islamic architecture can be anywhere in the world.

Persia incorporated the Babylonian Empire into the Persian Empire.

It was key to turning back the Persian invasion by crushing the Persian navy on which its strength rested. Then Athens used its superior fleet to spearhead the post-invasion Delian League to keep the liberated Greek cities in Asia Minor and the Islands free of Persian rule.

The League's success resulted in Persia giving up its quest to impose peace on the Greek cities and agreeing to stay out of Greek areas. Athens however saw its opportunity and retained the Delian League, collecting the annual contributions from the 200 cities, and spent the money on itself and on its navy which collected the money from them - by force where necessary. So the League effectively became an empire of Athens.

It was during the Persian invasion of 480 BCE, when Argos demanded, as a price for suppleis and troops, a 30 year truce with Sparta, and equal command of the Greek forces with Sparta. The underlying reason was that the Argives had recently lost haff their manpower in battle against the Spartans, and got a Delphic oracle (readily buyable) telling them to stay out of the war.

They settled in southern Iran - became a subsidiary of Media - dominated the Medes - used their combined resources to takeover Babylon - expanded trough west Asia and central Asia, - then into north Africa - then into eastern Europe creating an empire that stretched from Libya to Pakistan.-

They were the 20 provincial (satrapies) governors, who were responsible for internal and external security, collecting taxes, overseeing city, tribal and principality local government, and promoting economic growth. They were overseen by the king and his council.
