What was the cost of the battle of Marathon?
The Persians decided that the Athenian victory would encourage all the Greeks to rise against them, and determined to bring all the Greek cities under control, by agreement or conquest. Some agreed , some resisted and the Persians invaded mainland Greece, culminating in the battles of Salamis, Plataea and Mycale. The Greco-Persians lasted from 499 to 449 BCE.
What are the two most important factors that allowed Greece to win the Persians War against the Persians?
1. The Greek alliances established and retained naval dominance, which removed the threat of Persia attacking individual city-states and defeating the alliance in detail one by one. 2. The Persians had problems in controlling the diverse peoples in their empire, and could not concentrate all their effort on the hundreds of Greek city-states. 3. The Persian object had been to gain control of the Greek city-states to stop their ongoing fighting amongst each other spilling over into the Persian Empire. When the Persians withdrew, the Greek city-states went back to fighting each other.
Philip the father of Alexander the Great planned to take advantage of the wars between the Greek city-states to conquer them. How successful do you think his plan will be?
Very succesful, as it turned out. He did not even have to physically conquer them all. After a number of succesful sieges and battles, the Greek city-States subjected themselves to him. Philip created the Hellenic League of which all Greek States became a member, with Philip himself as the undisputed leader of the League.
How was Greek civilization differently from Persian civilization?
Persians believed in an all-powerful king, but many Greeks believed that citizens should choose their own rulers.
Why should the Greeks have surrendered to the Persians?
The Persians wanted a peaceful world, and their aim was to put an end to the incessant fighting between the Greek cities which spilled over into the Persian empire's Greek cities. So perhaps Greece would have been spared the endliss ongoing wars which ravaged it if a Persian peace had been imposed. Of course the Greek cities which banded together to repel the Persians wouldn't see it that way. From a purely military perspective, the Persian army was also much larger and much more formidable than any Greek force that could be assembled to meet them. Surrendering in advance of the conflict would have prevented all of the possibly pointless loss of life from opposing the Persians.
