Daily 3- Week 4b

Describe relations between Egypt and Persia before Alexander came on the scene.


Even before Alexander had decided to enter Egypt and ask for Egyptian help in conquering Persia, the Egyptians had always hated the Persians and the Persians had always hated the Egyptians. Alexander didn't just walk right into Egypt and demand that all Egyptians must hate the Persians. There was already a long-going hate relationship between Egypt and Persia that just worked for Alexander's advantage.
