about the same as Salt Lake City. five hundred then Persia, was the military nation of the world. Cyrus the Great, the first of a series of kings, established an empire that included the whole of the Middle East from India to the Mediterranean and from the Caucasus range to the Indian ocean. In those early years as a world empire, Iran was organized for total war. According to military historians it was the first nation to set up a system of universal military service.

Boys of five began training in the use of arms and at age of 15 entered into a five-year period of advanced training. After that they were reservists, liable for military duty when needed, until they reached the age of 50. First to Use Archers. The Persians were also believed to have been the first to employ archers on a large scale to increase the fire-power of their forces. And they developed this arm further by putting the bowmen on horseback.

Darius the First, grandson of Cyrus, was noted particularly for his attention to the problems of supply. One of his major works was the construction of a vast network of military roads over which troops and supplies could be transported to any threatened part of the empire. He also established an empire-wide system of communications by mounted carriers not unlike the famous Pony Express in America 80 years ago. Conquered by Alexander. In 331 B.C.

the Iranian empire was finally overthrown by Alexander the Great at the Battle of Arbela. With about 47,000 men, he defeated more than a million Persians under Darius III. In this decisive battle, the Persians used elephants, probably the first time in history that they appeared on a battlefield as offensive weapons, their tactical employment being quite like that of the tank in today's warfare. It took 500 years for Iran to BLACK TENTS OF THE KASHGAI. make a come-back as a nation.

Then, under Ardashir, a tribal chief, the people reconquered much of their old empire in the Middle East and again drove into India. For the next 400 years, the Persians were constantly at war, fighting about 15 major wars with the Roman empire and numerous smaller ones with the White Huns, the Arabs, the Turks and the Khazars. In the llth century Iran, along with other countries, suffered one of the worst blitzkriegs in history. Hordes of Mongol horsemen, capable of traveling 80 miles a day or 1,000 miles a month, swept out of the East, destroying everything in their path. At Merv, a city in the northwestern part of the empire 500,000 people were killed At Nishapur, all living things, even the animals, were wiped out and the city was leveled.

For the next 100 yfears, the country--what there was left of it--was ruled by the descendents of the Mongol conquerors. Recovered in 16th Century. Split into smaller states and dominated by foreign rulers for several hundred years, Persia arose again in the 16th century under the Safavid kings, the greatest of which was Shah Abbas Partially under the heel of Turkey, whose military power was nearly at its height, Shah Abbas began the reorganization of the Persian army which was then composed almost exclusively of light cavalry. With the help of two British soldier adventurers, the Shirleys, a well equipped army of cavalry, infantry and artillery divisions was created. In the first major trial, the new army met defeated a superior Turkish force, inflicting more than 20,000 casualities.

From the 17th century on, the history of Iran was one of increasing foreign influence, with England and Russia the predominant nations.

HUirrr 4Mf were almost incessant so that by the time of the first World war broke out Iran was almost a state of anarchy. During the war the British, Russians and the Turks occupied parts of the country. In 1921 a new leader, Reza Khan, arose, an officer in the famous Cossack division, later to become Shah. Under his leadership steps toward modernization of the country were taken. In August, 1941, he abdicated in favor of his son, Mohammed Riza Shah.

Today Iran is a constitutiona 1 monarchy, with a Shah and a parliament which is elected every two years. Iranian politics are in a somewhat delicate state due to the war situation, so it is important that you avoid any expression of opinion on political matters.
