with the leadership of Alexander the Great, Greece won their battle against Persia. What's note worthy about this is that Persia had a bigger military. However after their victory, Greece had a civil war which weakened their defenses and allowed the kingdom of Macedonia to take over. During this time Rome and China were taking shape, both were similar and very successful. Both empires would eventually end, China in 220 c.e. and Rome in 476 c.e.. The empires were too big and there were too many politicians wanting power, their fighting would lead to their end.
