| | Persian Empire - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
 | | Persia's weakness was exposed to the Greeks in 401 BC, when the Satrap of Sardis hired ten thousand Greek mercenaries to help secure his claim to the imperial throne (see Xenophon). | | | By WW1 Persia was not the world power it had once been; it had become a tool in the political battles of other empires. | | | The local king of Persia at this time, Ardashir I, led a revolt against the imperial government of Parthia. |

| | CATHOLIC ENCYCLOPEDIA: Persia |
| | Under the Arabs, the Christians of Persia were not in wholly unfavourable circumstances. | | | It is clear that Christianity was widely diffused in Persia, that in some localities the Christians were very numerous, and that the Christian religion continued to spread after the rise of Mohammedanism. | | | This change was for a time favourable to Christianity, as the rulers openly declared themselves Christians or were partial to Christianity. |

| | The History Of Jews In Persia/Iran |
| | The origin of the Jewish diaspora in Persia is connected to the deportation of Israelites in 727 B.C. from Samaria to Media and Persia. | | | The famous "Cyrus Declaration" allowed the Jews who were living in exile by the river of Babylon to return to their homeland, Judea, to rebuild their lives. | | | Professor Amnon Netzer of the Hebrew University in Jerusalem told RFE/RL that the yellow patch as a distinctive mark for Iranian Jews reappeared a number of times through Iranian history, most recently at the beginning of the 20th century. |
