After the Persian conquest of the Babylonian Kingdom in 539 BC, the Phoenicians submitted readily to the Persians. The Persian Empire united the Near East and provided relatively stable, equitable, and tolerant government, all good for commerce, and the importance of Phoenician naval power to the Persians guaranteed that the Phoenician cities enjoyed a favored position within the Persian Empire. Such considerations far outweighed the dubious and dangerous attractions of political independence.
