What modern countries make up ancient "Persia"?

Answer 1

IRAN!
The Persian Empire was a series of historical empires that ruled over the Iranian plateau and beyond. The political entity which was ruled by these kingdoms is the country of IRAN (literally "Land of Aryans"). Generally, the earliest entity considered a part of the Persian Empire is Persia's Achaemenid dynasty (648–330 BC), a united Aryan kingdom that originated in the region now known as Fars Province of Iran and was formed under Cyrus the Great. Successive states in Iran prior to 1935 are collectively called the Persian Empire by Western historians.

Iran is the only one. Actually Iran is much bigger than ancient Persia, unless you mean the Persian Empire, which stretched from Africa to India.

Answer 6

There was a Persian kingdom in what is now the SW of Iran in the 700s and 600s BCE (maybe before). It conquered Assyria (part of today's Iraq) in 614 and 612 BCE. In 585 it conquered part of today's Turkey. By 518, the Persian kingdom (or empire) comprised twenty satrapies, controlling all of today's Syria, Lebanon, Palestine, Iraq, and Iran. all of Israel except the Negev, the habitable part of Jordan, all of Turkey except the NE and the European bit, most of Azerbaijan and Afghanistan, and parts of Armenia, Turkmenistan, Uzbekistan, and Pakistan. Egypt and a few other areas extending those borders were added during the next half-century.

The whole empire was conquered in the 330s and 320s BCE by Alexander of Macedon. In the first two decades after his death in 323, there emerged the Seleucid kingdom, comprising virtually all of today's Iran and Iraq (except bits of Iranian Azerbaijan and of Kurdistan) and southern parts of today's Turkmenistan, Uzbekistan and Afghanistan. After 301 this kingdom also included Syria and Lebanon.

Answer 7

Iran. Because of the unique language, Farsi, and the early Greek connection via Alexander the Great, the identity and boundaries are very certain.
