Differences consisted of military intimidation and calm integration. The Assyrians would smash dams, set fire on crops, cut down trees, and skin the rebels The persians would do calm integration to unify empire and prevent revolts. Unlike persians, Assyrians chief god was Ashur. contrary to Persians, Assyrians were heavily influenced by its mesopotamian predecessors.

Explanation:

The Assyrians were the nazis of the ancient world. They were so brutal and cruel that cities and entire countries would surrender to their army just on the news that they might attack.

The persians were completely opposite of it under the rule of Cyrus. They were unforgiving to those who opposed and betrayed them, but Cyrus set an example of kindness and Mercy. He allowed them to maintain their respective faiths and religions and allowed them freedom as long as they were industrious and peaceful and paid tribute to the Persians on schedule.
