The greatest emperor in Iranian history was 300 years earlier than Qin Shihuang in China, and Iranians were honored as the father of the country.
If you really want to choose the greatest emperor among all the emperors in the history of China, I believe that Qin Shihuang will be the majority. After all, Qin Shihuang's contribution and influence to the history of China is incomparable to other emperors. He is the greatest emperor in the history of China. Focus on Iran, a West Asian country with a history of nearly 4,000 years. In Iran's 4000-year history, there have also been many great emperors. If you really want to choose one of the greatest emperors in Iranian history, it is definitely the one to be introduced now. He was the founding emperor of the first unified dynasty in Iranian history, that is, Cyrus II, the founding emperor of Achemenid dynasty. Later generations respectfully called him "cyrus the great", while Iranians respectfully called him "the father of Iran". Cyrus II, the first emperor of Iran's Achemani dynasty? As we all know, Iran was called Persia in ancient times, and a prosperous and vast Persian empire was established in history. In fact, Persian Empire is a broad concept, which refers to all unified dynasties in Iranian history. In other words, all unified dynasties in Iranian history can be called Persian Empire, and Achemani Dynasty established by Cyrus II is the first unified dynasty in Iranian history, otherwise it is called the first Persian Empire. According to the existing historical records, Cyrus II's life experience is quite legendary and is recorded as the grandson of the last king of the kingdom of Medea. The last king of the Medes dreamed that his grandson Cyrus II had usurped his throne, so he decided to execute Cyrus II as soon as he was born. The Medes and Persians who founded the kingdom of Medes are two peoples. Persian tribes are vassals of the kingdom of Miti. Cyrus II's father was the leader of the Persian tribe and married Princess Medes. He was born on a certain day in 585 AD. At that time, the minister responsible for the execution of Cyrus II, Medes, pitied the child and secretly sent him back to the Persian tribe to grow up there. Cyrus II began to attack the kingdom of Medea? In 559 BC, Cyrus II, who was only 26 years old, inherited his father's business and became the leader of the Persian tribe. Originally, he didn't want to be emperor himself, but the minister who secretly let him go was dissatisfied with the fatuity and incompetence of the last king of the kingdom of Miti, and told him the ins and outs of the matter, making him determined to replace his grandfather and make the Persians the new rulers of this land. In 553 BC, Cyrus II unified the entire Persian tribe and officially raised the banner against the kingdom of Medea. Persians have long been dissatisfied with being bullied and enslaved by the Medes, so they actively responded to Cyrus II. Cyrus II saw that the time was ripe and immediately set out to attack the kingdom of Medea. Because the Persians took advantage of the favorable weather, geographical location and human harmony, the battle with the Mites was almost an overwhelming victory. Three years later, in 550 BC, Cyrus II destroyed the kingdom of Medea and unified the whole of Iran. In the same year, Cyrus II ascended the throne and proclaimed himself emperor, and established the first unified dynasty in Iranian history. The country name was Persia, which was known as the "First Persian Empire" in history, and the capital was Passagard (in today's Iran, only ruins remained). Because Cyrus II was born in the Achaemenid dynasty, he called the dynasty he founded the Achaemenid dynasty. Cyrus II ascended the throne and proclaimed himself emperor to establish the Achemani dynasty? On the issue of addressing dynasties, the history of China is different from that of foreign countries. Chinese dynasties all have country names, and the country names of different dynasties are almost different, so they are directly called Chinese dynasties by country names. Although foreign dynasties also have country names, the country names of different dynasties are mostly the same. Therefore, in order to distinguish foreign dynasties, they are all called by family, not by country name. If you must use the country title, you must add the words "first" and "second" to distinguish it. For example, the Achaemenid dynasty in Iranian history was called the first Persian Empire, the Sassanian dynasty was called the second Persian Empire, and the Safi dynasty was called the third Persian Empire. This is the general rule of calling dynasties in foreign history. After the establishment of Achaemenid dynasty, Cyrus II was not satisfied with the status quo, but still expanded his territory, successively destroying the new Babylonian kingdom that ruled today Iraq and the Lydian kingdom that ruled today Turkey, and expanding the territory of Achaemenid dynasty to the borders of Asia, Europe and Africa, which laid a solid foundation for his descendants to continue to expand their territory and establish the first Persian empire whose territory spanned Asia, Europe and Africa in world history. The territory of Iran's Achaemenid dynasty at its peak? Cyrus II was not an emperor who conquered only by force. He knew that there were many different nationalities in the country he founded, and he took many measures to appease these nationalities and won their support. Therefore, Cyrus II reigned for 20 years, even many years after his death, the rule of Achemenid dynasty remained prosperous, powerful, peaceful and stable. When Cyrus II established the prosperous and vast Achemenid dynasty, in order to show off his outstanding literary martial arts, he said this sentence: "I, Ju Lushi, am the king of the world and the king of kings!" In 530 BC, Cyrus II died unexpectedly in a foreign war at the age of 55. In view of Cyrus II's great contribution to Iranian history, later generations respectfully called him "cyrus the great" and Iranians respectfully called him "the father of Iran". When most countries in the world were still primitive and backward, Cyrus II had established a prosperous and vast Achemenid dynasty, which was more than 300 years earlier than China's Qin Shihuang unified China and established a unified Qin Dynasty. His name is synonymous with prosperity, peace and stability in ancient Persia. Cyrus II, the greatest emperor in Iranian history?
