PERSIAN EMPIRE - from the beginning to the fall, the Achaemenid state The Achaemenid state, a dynasty that ruled Persia for over 200 years, was one of the largest empires of the East that we know from history. How did the history of this state proceed from the beginning to the fall. From the struggles with the Medians to Cyrus the Great, Darius I, Xerxes and the last Darius III. The invasion of Macedonia, the combined Greek-Macedonian forces, was devastating for the Persian Empire. The battle of Marathon, Plataea, Salamis, Granicus, Issos and Gaugamela are not the only causes of the fall of Persia and the Achaemenids. There is also the religion of Zoroastrianism, the eternal struggle between truth and lies. FACEBOOK https://www.facebook.com/profile.php?...
