No, they did not.
The Ionian Revolt.
nope be de dope
NO! The Persian war was ancient Greece vs the Persians USA didnt even exist then.
The Persians did win independence from the United Kingdom in 1976.
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.

Athens lost the Peloponnesian War.A major contributing factor was the Persians giving financial support to the Spartan alliance which enabled them to assemble a fleet to match that of the Athenians.
The Spartan confederation accepted Persian money to raise a fleet which could match the Athenian one.
Of course.
They had a superior fleet, a well disciplined army and they were very good at bribing factions in Greek cities to switch to their side.
