During the Middle Sasanian Kingdom, Persia and the Byzantine Empire were mostly at peace. Persia had problems on its eastern frontier, and the Byzantines were menaced by the Slavs, Avars and other steppe nomads. Near the end of this period, hostilities broke out again when Khusru I  strengthened the monarchy and then annihilated the Epthalites, temporarily securing the eastern frontier.

 		 Khusru next invaded Mesopotamia, but his successes were short-lived after the Byzantines incited the Huns and the Turks to attack Persia. In 590 the Byzantines defeated the Persian army and its commander was disgraced. The army then mutinied and  Hormazd IV was overthrown. The Middle Sasanian Kingdom ended with Persia in chaos.
