True or False? Cyrus the Great treated most of the people he conquered well and allowed them to keep their own religion and customs

True. Cyrus the Great, the founder of the Achaemenid Empire, is known for his policy of religious and cultural tolerance towards the people he conquered. He allowed them to maintain their own religious practices, customs, and local governance as long as they paid tribute and remained loyal to the empire. This policy, referred to as "Cyrus's Charter," contributed to his reputation as a benevolent ruler.
