There was no Thermopylai war. It was a holding action in which 7,000 forces from the southern Greek city-states held the pass for three days. The persian force was 180,000 strong but in the narrow pass comparatively few were fighting at any stage.

How do you think the Persians would have ended if the Spartans had not slowed the Persians at Thermopylae?

The purpose of the Thermopylae delay was to provoke a sea battle in the nearby strait of Artemesion, in the hope of destroying the Persian fleet. The Persian fleet won, and the Greeks had to withdraw to try again at Salamis, which they did win. The Thermopylae delay had no effect on the outcome of the war.
