Darius I, the Persian king, created satrapies to efficiently manage and govern the vast Persian Empire. By dividing the empire into smaller administrative regions, or satrapies, he could delegate authority to local governors (satraps) who were responsible for collecting taxes, maintaining order, and overseeing local affairs. This system allowed for better control, communication, and resource management across diverse cultures and territories, ultimately contributing to the stability and cohesion of the empire.
