Question

The Persian Empire was one of the largest empires that ever existed. What is an empire? What do you think it takes to lead an empire? What challenges might a leader of an empire face?

Answer 1

An empire is a group of countries or regions that a single leader controls. Leaders of empires probably need to be very strong and smart rulers. They have to make many big decisions about issues such as wars, money, and laws. They decide how to spend huge amounts of money collected as taxes. But they also have many worries because of wars, rebellions, and rivals for power. If things turn out badly in a war or a rebellion, they can lose their empire, or even their lives.

Step-by-step explanation:

Answer 2

An empire is a territorial claim which according to history had a rise, expansion and fall over time. This has many implications beginning with religion, culture, art, military, architecture and politics. An empire establishes some way of tribute (usually money) to its subterritories and population, following taxation rules. Leading an empire requires a dominant though respectful stance and character. It requires wisdom and understanding of justice. It also requires a long term vision towards which an empire´s population must be led to in order to improve their life and progress. There are many challenges that an empire´s leader faces, among which maintaining stable borders and a strong army outstand. Another challenge is the ability to establish peace terms with other neighboring empires or kingdoms for their own wellbeing and safety.
