Explanation:
Detailed explanation-1: -As for the fall of the empire, loyalty to the empire declined as the kings raised taxes. In addition, the Persian kings had many wives and children, and the sons did not have the power and experience to rule, so they easily fell into traps. This led to the weakening of the empire.
