Тема: Персидська імперія

The Persian Empire was centered in Persia, modern day Iran, and ruled over the Anatolian Pennisula, Egypt, much of today’s Middle East, Afghanistan and Pakistan…just stopping shy of crossing the Indus Valley into India. It was the greatest empire to exist hitherto.The name “Persian” was adopted by historians to describe the ethnicity of the legendary founder Cyrus the Great and for convenience sake, to associate the empire with the capital (Persis/Persia). In its heyday, however, the Persians identified themselves as part of Achaemenid Empire. This period of Achaemenid dominance, from 550 — 330 BCE, is what people refer to when they say “THE Persian Empire”. It is an important distinction to make, for, there was an earlier Iranian Empire called the Median Empire that subsumed the state of Persia, and it is there we turn to to uncover the origins of the great Achaemenid dynasty.

From 539 BC to 331 BC, the Persian Empire was the most powerful state in the world. Ruled from Persia (now Iran), it stretched from Egypt to India. It had rich resources of water, fertile farmland, and gold. The Persians followed the Zoroastrian religion.In 334 Alexander the Great of Macedonia invades Central Asia. Darius loses three battles with Alexander and is finally defeated in 331. ... The Persian Empire began with conquest and ended with defeat, but it will always be remembered as a powerful force that swept through the continents of Asia, Africa, and Europe.
