The relationship between Egypt and Persia was very complicated and violent. The Egyptians and Persians were at war for a very long time, since both were evenly matched in power and strength. The wars between them continued for centuries. Many times one would come into power over the other and then the other would make a huge comeback. Finally Persia took over Egypt, and the Egyptians were under Persian rule. The Persians were cruel and very unfair to the Eyptian people. Alexander the Great changed this when he came into power. He felt that someone needed to get revenge on the Persians.
