Explanation:
Detailed explanation-1: -One of Persia’s greatest kings, Darius the Great expanded the frontiers of the empire through a series of military campaigns. After quashing the rebellions across Persia, Darius sent forces east into India. He took control of the Indus Valley and extended Persian territory into the Punjab region.
