The Quiz: Who ultimately conquered Persia and caused the fall of the empire?
Julius Caesar
Genghis Khan
Alexander the Great
Charlemagne
The Persian Empire began to decline in 480 BCE after a failed conquering attempt at the hands of the Greeks. But it was ultimately Alexander the Great of Macedon that would conquer the Achaemenid dynasty (Persia) in 330 BCE, causing it to fall as a world superpower. Alexander the Great’s reign over the empire was short, however. At the age of 32, he died in Persia from a sudden and mysterious illness.
The correct answer to this quiz is Alexander the Great.
