The Persian Empire was the first empire to unify regions in three continents: Asia, Europe, and Africa. It was established by Cyrus the Great (also referred to as Cyrus II) in 550 B.C., when he conquered the Median empire: effectively uniting the Persian and Median peoples. Following his conquest, Cyrus proceeded to assemble an empire, which consisted of numerous captured cities, including Parthia, Hyrcania, Armenia, and Drangiana.
