[Tokhtamish]

I'll try.

The Assyrian war machine had terrorized the Levant for centuries. But one problem with creating a good war machine is that sooner or later your undestroyed enemies learn to copy your tactics. To the east the Assyrians shattered the Elamites, leaving a power vaccuum to be filled by a new people, the Medes. To the south a new people, the Chaldeans filled the power vaccum the Assyrians had made of Babylon. The Medes and Chaldeans formed an alliance and destroyed Assyria.

For a time the Chaldeans under their greatest king Nebuchadnezzar prospered. Then the Medes merged with a new people, the Persians, destroyed the Chaldeans, freed the Jews, and conquered the entire Middle East.

Then the Medes merged with a new people, the Persians, destroyed the Chaldeans, freed the Jews, and conquered the entire Middle East.

For a while...until they in turn were destroyed by the Greeks under the incomparable young man named Alexander.

>... freed the Jews

Actually, freed the Northern Kingdom Israelites. The Southern Kingdom, remnants of which in another hundred years or so would become known as Jews, were still back in Canaan, awaiting their own capture and removal to Babylon and subsequent diapora.
