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. His largest victory was over Babylon in 539 B.C.–one that ended the
