https://padlet.com/dgallagher24/tqtqcjdpmjoxk9w5 Were the Persians cruel, kind, or tolerant over their conquests?

They didn't seem to interfere with the culture and freedom that their conquests already had. But at the same time if they disobeyed the Persian Empire, they could be stripped of their liberties. So in that sense they were tolerant to a certain point. At the same time they were cruel to invade them in the first place.]]> 2020-10-20 14:12:41 UTC https://padlet.com/dgallagher24/tqtqcjdpmjoxk9w5/wish/844934523 https://padlet.com/dgallagher24/tqtqcjdpmjoxk9w5/wish/844935045 I believe it was cruel because they took land and kept it to themselves.]]> 2020-10-20 14:12:47 UTC https://padlet.com/dgallagher24/tqtqcjdpmjoxk9w5/wish/844935045 https://padlet.com/dgallagher24/tqtqcjdpmjoxk9w5/wish/844935395 I think it depends on who you asked because for the original Persians they were doing it for the their good.

You cannot be too nice because it will show signs of weakness and the people will easily be able to overthrow you.
