Answer 1

Answer:

False

Explanation:

The empires like Assyria, Babylonia, Persia, Macedonia, and Rome were existing in different periods, and they all left big marks on the world and for the future civilizations. Assyria and Babylonia were the first of these empires to emerge, and they were very influential in the whole region. They existed long before the eight century. Than came the Persian Empire, becoming enormous empire in the Middle East, Asia Minor, and even parts of the Balkans, until its existence was abruptly stopped by the invasion of the Macedonian army in the 4th century BC. The Macedonian Empire and the Roman Empire were developing parallel in this period, with the Macedonian Empire fracturing into several smaller empires after the death of Alexander II of Macedon, while Rome continued to exist until the invasion by the Gothic people at the end of the first third of the first millennium.
