The Spartans did not win the Battle of Thermopylae. What the Spartans did do was hold back the invading army of Xerxes for a long enough time to allow Xerxes to do some serious thinking about what he might be getting himself into and it allowed the rest of the Greek States to get their stuff together to stave off total subjugation by the Persians.
The Spartans were never totally defeated, however, they had one loss in their almost perfect record. The Battle of Thermopylae. There were about 7,000 Greek men at the Pass. There was a secret pass around the mountain that would lead the Persians around behind the Greeks, and this path was told to them by a greek traitor. Knowing this, King Leonidas sent 6,000 of his men away, leaving 300 Spartans and another 700 other Greeks. The Persians came around and hit them from behind. It was a slaughter. Luckily,the Spartans drove off the Persians at the battle of Marathon.
Athens didn't win, it was a member of an alliance of Greek city-states from southern Greece and the Islands.
The Persian invasion was turned back by three battles - Salamis (sea), Plataia (land) and Mykale (sea-land). The Greek strategy was to first destroy the Persian fleet so that it could not threaten the cities and so prevent them form joining their armies for a land battle. This happened at Salamis.
The loss of fleet protection also meant that the Persians could not protect the sea convoys that they needed to feed them, so they had to send half their army home during the winter. In the spring the Greek armies joined together and defeated the depleted Persian army and its Greek allies at Plataia. At the same time they finished off the rump of the Persian fleet at Mykale. The invasion was over.
They fought with spears and shields. They trained extremely hard for endurence, strength and no mercy.
No, they got beaten.
No.
Cortese had guns and trained troops. The Aztec had no resources to fight him and win.
They formed an alliance because they wanted to rebel against the Persians. Athens had all the brains and Sparta had all the war like abilities. Athens needed someone that was good in war. Even though Athens had a strong army it was still too small to over ride the Persian Empire. The Persians were a common enemy for Athens and Sparta. They both had something in common; liking the Persians. So the more people Athens had in their army the more likely it is for Athens to win. In the end Athens does win the war against the Persians but there are many more wars the Athenians and the Persians have had against each other.

No, they were defeated by Sparta and it's allies. The Delian League was formed to defend against Persia, and after peace was made with the Persian Empire, it was turned by Athens into an empire of its own. Athens used its resources of the old League to war against the Peloponnesian League led by Sparta.
they had more troops and the british were loosing there troops so that's my answer.
