Detailed explanation-1: -By the 6th century BC, the Medes had built a large empire that included the Persians to the east and the Assyrians to the west. However, in 550 BC Cyrus the Great of Persia conquered the Medes, acquiring Assyria in the process, which the Median King Cyarxes had taken in about 612 BC.
Detailed explanation-2: -The Assyrian empire and the Persian empire were two of the earliest major empires in the world. The Assyrians came in to power first, ruling from 900 BC to about 600 BC and with the help of Cyrus the Great, the Persians rose to power around 550BC.
Detailed explanation-3: -How did the Neo-Assyrian and Persian Empires interact with the peoples living on the fringes of their territories? They persistently used military force to either conquer their neighbors or demand tribute from them.
