Answer:

D) to create railroad networks that spanned the entire country

Explanation:

The main idea was to connect the country. At that moment, with the construction of the First Transcontinental Railway, it was possible to connect the coasts of the Pacific Ocean with the Atlantic Ocean. For the first time in history, a railway network connected two sea coasts and, thus, the project is still a reference in the field of railway construction.

RoseWind [281]

The correct matches are:

Divided the Persian Empire into 20 provinces - Darius I;

Tolerated religions and customs of conquered people - Both;

Defeated the Medes and became the first leader of the Persian Empire - Cyrus the Great;

Established the capital called Persepolis - Darius I;

Created the Immortals, a force of 10,000 highly skilled warriors to serve him - Cyrus the Great;

Expanded the Persian Empire by conquering surrounding lands - Both;

Cyrus the Great and Darius I are both seen as excellent leaders and they have a place in the hearts of most Iranians even in the present. Both of them had numerous achievements. Cyrus the Great was the one that actually created the Persian Empire, created the legendary ''Immortals' managed to conquer new territories, but was also a very tolerant and generous leader. Darius I, also referred to as Darius the Great, managed to became the leader of the Persian Empire after the assassination of the usurper on the throne. He later managed to implement numerous political reforms, conquered even more territories, and ordered the building and establishing of the capital Persepolis which was a real miracle in the antiquity.
