Answer

During the reign of the powerful Persian Emperor Darius I, Egypt was administered according to the Persian tradition of respecting and accommodating local religions and cultures; however, during the later rule of Xerxes, Egypt was ruled with an iron fist, and Egyptian traditions, customs, and local institutions were suppressed. This led to a successful uprising which freed Egypt of Persian control for half a century.
