Answer:
revolutionary movement (or revolutionary social movement) is a specific type of social movement dedicated to carrying out a revolution. Charles Tilly defines it as "a social movement advancing exclusive competing claims to control of the state, or some segment of it".[1] Jeff Goodwin and James M. Jasper define it more simply (and consistently with other works[2][need quotation to verify]) as "a social movement that seeks, as minimum, to overthrow the government or state".[3]
A social movement may want to make various reforms and to gain some control of the state, but as long as they do not aim for an exclusive control, its members are not revolutionary.[4] Social movements may become more radical and revolutionary, or vice versa - revolutionary movements can scale down their demands and agree to share powers with others, becoming a run-of-the-mill political party.[4]
Answer:
conquest of Persia by Alexander of Macedon
Explanation:
The Persian Empire, which is now centered in the modern day Iran is the name given to dynasties founded by Cyrus the Great by the year 550B.C. It was known to be one of the biggest empire in history and it spanned different centuries, covering different areas from the Balkan Pennisula to the Indus Valley in West India.
Xerxes I in 480 BC led the invasion of Greece, an attempt that failed and that led to the decline of the Persian Empire. They had limited funds to protect their lands and they taxed their subjects heavily. Alexander the Great of Macedon in 330 B.C invaded the area with his army and the empire finally fell.
