Explain the main features of persian administration
Answers
Answer:
Explanation:Unlike most other civilizations that rose to dominate Mesopotamia, the Persians were not originally from that region, nor any other major river valley. Instead, the Persians originated in modern Southern Iran, in a region today still known as Fars, from which the Greeks got the word Pars, ultimately becoming Persians. The official imperial history of Persia states that it grew out of oppression, as their long-time partners, the Medes, had become oppressive, and the noble Persians had simply risen up to throw off the yokes of such slavery. As a result, Persian writers would often have one believe that their culture tried to bring those same freedoms to others around the world. However, unlike so many other examples of nationalistic propaganda, this one may have some element of truth to it.

Persian Administration
Until its destruction, the Persians were the largest empire that the world had seen up until that point in time. In fact, some scholars estimate that more than 40% of the world's population was under Persian rule during its high point. Earlier empires had failed with much less land for reasons of administration, so it was apparent that the Persians would have to be adept administrators in order to ensure the survival of their new empire. In this regard, the Persians were particularly gifted.
