Iran's history

 Iran is the oldest country in the world. Our country's history is back 5,223 years ago, so it has a long and beautiful history. 

 Let's start with the main three civilizations, the Mades, the Pars, and the Parts. The Mades empire was in the northwestern, The pars in the south, and the parts in the northeastern of Iran. And in a battle the Mades empire defeated the Pars and Parts civilization and it made Iran's first empire.

 The Mades empire was one of the biggest empires of Iran, but it wasn't the biggest. Iran's most enormous empire was the Achaemenid Empire right after the Mades Empire. Cyrus the Great defeated the Mades and created the Achaemenid Empire.

 The biggest empire of Iran but when Cyrus the Great was the emperor of Iran, It wasn't the maximum expansion of the Achaemenid empire, The full expansion of the Achaemenid empire was when Darius the Great was the emperor of Iran, At that time, the Achaemenid Empire was from Anatolia and Egypt across western Asia to northern India and Central Asia.
