they went to war with Greece
Persia went to war with Greece (Athens and Sparta) as Persia wanted their land and Athens, Sparta and some other greek states said "No, you can not own our land." Or A Catalyst for the first war against the Persians was the Ionian Revolt. The Persians and the Greeks shared a border along the land known as Ionia in Asia Minor. The Greeks revolted and burned a village. Thus leading to a Persian counter-attack and war.
Persia hasn’t existed for several thousand of years. The Greeks went to war with Persia not the United States. The United States didn’t even exist when Persia existed.
Yes they did go into war. They went into war with the greece and the rome.
The Persians lost, and the war went on for another 30 years until Persia gave up its attempts to impose peace on the Greek city-states and left them to go back to their customary fighting and destruction of each other.
Men had to be fit and often had to go to war.
Men had to be fit and often had to go to war.
The couple of hundred Greek city-states within the Persian Empire became restive, and revolted. Persia put the rebellion down. Athens and Eretria in mainland Greece, outside the Empire, intervened, and the Persians were persuaded that the only way to keep the Greek city-states not inside the Empire from fomenting trouble inside the Empire, was to incorporate them too, and appoint tyrants friendly to Persia to rule and control them. Many of those hitherto independent cities came across to the Persian side. Those in southern Greece resisted and Persia invaded to bring them under control and so restore peace to the eastern Mediterranean. The invasion failed, and intermittent war went on for another thirty yeas until Persia gave up and left the Greek cities to go back to their endless warfare amongst each other.
Persia.
Persia had already absorbed the Greek city-states in Asia Minor. These states were restless and encouraged revolts against Persia. Persia sent an expedition to bring the main troublemakers, Eretria and Athens under control, but it was defeated at Marathon. Persia then tried to bring all the Greeks under its control to prevent their constant wars, but failed and eventually left them alone to go back to fighting each other.
Greece went to war against Persia primarily due to Persian expansionism and the desire for autonomy among Greek city-states. The immediate catalyst was the Ionian Revolt (499-494 BC), where Greek cities in Asia Minor sought freedom from Persian rule, prompting Athens and Eretria to support the rebels. This interference angered the Persian king Darius I, leading him to seek retribution against Athens, ultimately culminating in the Persian Wars, marked by key battles such as Marathon (490 BC) and Salamis (480 BC). The conflicts were driven by a mix of political, cultural, and territorial ambitions on both sides.
