Greek Commanders and Mauryas
Alexander died in 323 B.C., in Babylon, leaving no heir. Some believe he was poisoned some believe that he was shattered after losing a war in Sub-Continent. His empire was divided among four of his generals. Seleucus, one of these generals, who became ruler of Babylon in 312, gradually reconquered most of Iran and Afghanistan. Under Seleucus's son, Antiochus I, many Greeks entered Iran, and Hellenistic motifs in art, architecture, and urban planning became prevalent. Athough the Seleucids faced challenges from the Ptolemies of Egypt and from the growing power of Rome, but he was able tackle all the revolts and unified Greeks.

In
302. BC Chandargupt Maurya Challenged Greeks in Kandhara. "Selucus failed and had to conclude a treaty with Chandragupta by which he surrendered a large territory including, in the opinion of certain writers, the satrapies of Paropanisadai (Kabul), Aria (Herat), Arachosia (Qanadahar) and Gedrosia (Baluchistan), Persia (Iran) in return for 500 elephants. The treaty was probably cemented by a marriage contract and a small  Temple in Greece .

A Greek envoy was accredited to the Court of Pataliputra�. Chandargupt Maurya was one of the finest ruler that Iran ever had. He never interfered in religious affair of Iranians and made sure the Governor appointed to rule Iran was from Iran itself. He developed, for the first time in history, a system for running his territories through the Governers. He built admirable highways. He appointed inspectors in whom he had confidence to act as "the Eyes and Ears" of the king and keep him informed of all developments, specially with regard to the behavior of each satrap towards his people and towards the empire, bearing in mind at all times that a satrap was always a potential rebel. After the death of Chandargupt Maurya Sub-Continent started to lose control of Babylon and Perisa.

Ashoka and  Parthians


In
265 BC came the great storm through east disguised as Ashoka Maurya, grandson of Chandargupt Maurya but he was nothing like his Grandfather. Ashoka and his warriors, raiding deep into the Persia, Babylon, Minor East, assured the domination of Vedic Aryans what is now Khazaistan, Iran and Iraq. They carried out devastating raids into Persia�destroying Perisan culture. Ashoka belived the Aryans who fled from Sub Continent before last Ice age had no right to live under his kingdom as they once had brought disgrace to Arya Religion. Ashoka turned out to be most cruel King ever born. He killed Persians, Huns and Kurds in thousands.The Assyrian, Persian, Huns (Turks) and Kurdish Massacres in 264 BC were the first near-genocidal series of atrocities committed against the Asian population. These were carried out by Ashoka and his soldiers. They cut people with their swords wherever they found people with richies.With his booty from West Asia, he built a great empire. He further conquered many parts of South-East Asia. By the time  he adopted Buddhism he ruled all of the south east Asia and many parts of Middle East. However, as occurred so often in this region, the demise in 232 BC of this military genius who had expanded the empire to its farthest reaches was the death knell of the dynasty itself. After adopting Buddhism he lost interest in Administration which gave the chance to Parthians who over threw Mauryan empire in 247 B.C. and established a dynasty, the Arsacids, or Parthians. During the second century, the Parthians were able to extend their rule to Bactria, Babylonia, Susiana, and Media, and, under Mithradates II (123-87 B.C.), Parthian conquests stretched from Persia to Armenia. After the victories of Mithradates II, the Parthians began to claim descent from both the Greeks and the Achaemenids. They spoke a language similar to that of the Achaemenids, used the Pahlavi script, and established an administrative system based on Achaemenid precedents. Parthian invaded Sub-Continent in around 55 BC which brought Vikramaditya Vardhan's Invasion in entire West Asia (Modern Day Middle East)

Vikramaditya Vardhan

The victories of Babylon, Persia, Turks led him again to the Arabia and sounded the hour for attack on Arabia. When he conquered Arabia, he did so to cheers from the Jewish and Arab  Community, who welcomed him as a liberator. He showed great forbearance and respect towards the religious beliefs and cultural traditions of other races. These qualities earned him the respect and homage of all the people over whom he ruled.

The victory over Arabia expressed all the facets of the policy of conciliation which Vikramaditya had followed until then. He presented himself not as a conqueror, but a liberator and the legitimate successor to the crown. He took the title of "King of Aryavrata and Liberator of the Arabs, Turks and Jews". Vikramditya had no thought of forcing conquered people into a single mould, and had the wisdom to leave unchanged the institution of each kingdom he attached to the Aryavrata Crown. Vikramaditya was upright, a great leader of men, generous and benevolent.  He spread the Vedic Culture in the land of Arabia. He also reconstructed the temple of Brahma and Mahesh and placed a Jiyotarlinga there. Several other Vedic Temples were made in Babylon, Persia and Turkistan.  For the first time they got a King that cared for the inhabitants of his Empire. Arabs, Kurds and Persians saw him as 'the annointed of the Lord'.    

After the 4 year of Wars that saw whole west Asia under the belt of Vikramaditya Empire he stayed for a year in Arabia till the Mahadev Temple was not completely reconstructed.

He built admirable highways, and developed an excellent postal system both of which allowed him to receive rapidly information from his provinces.
He accepted Perisans as Aryans and called them as long lost cousins. During the Vikramaditya's regions persians felt like they felt under the region of Cyrus. He also bulit several monuments in the respect of Chandargupt Maurya and Cyrus. Another project undertaken by Vikramaditya was the royal road, the world's longest, extending 1,700 miles. Due to an extensive network of relays, postmen could travel the road in six to nine days, whereas normal travel time was three months. The motto of the Vedic postal service became memorable: stopped by neither snow, rain, heat or gloom of night. The US postal service also adopted this motto and the famous Pony Express mail delivery resembled the original Vedic design. Vikramaditya laid the foundation of Vardhan Dynasty. His empire controlled many parts of Modern day China, Entire Middle East and Many Parts of South East Asia. After his death his descendents and Parthians controlled Iran. By 102 AD descendents of Vikramaditya lost control over Iran and Parthians established there empire in Iran and Babylon.
