How might Persian wars have ended if the Spartans had not slowed the Persians at Thermopylae?

The slowing of the Persia advance was to force a sea battle in the nearby strait at Artemesia in an attempt to destroy the Persian fleet. As this sea battle failed, the three day delay at Thermopylae had no overall significance.
The invasion was turned back at the subsequent battles of Salamis, Plataia and Mycale.

How might the Persian Wars have ended of the Spartans had not slowed the Persians at Thermopylae?
Thermopylae was a very minor event in the 50-year Persian Wars. It failed to have any influence on the wars, and only later became symbolic of courage.
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.

The slowing of the Persian advance at Thermopylae by a force from Greek cities, including Sparta, was to force a sea battle ,but the Greek lost at sea, and the delaying force at Thermopylae was withdrawn. The Greeks won their sea battle at Salamis later on, so Thermopylae had no effect on the outcome of the war. It did, however, become a symbol of staunch resistance.
How did the Persian Wars end Spartans slowed the Persians at Thermopylae?
After 50 years of fighting, in 449 BCE Persia agreed to stay from the Greek city-states on which it had been attempting to impose peace. At Thermopylae, a coalition of Greek city-states blocked the advance of a Persian army to force a sea battle at nearby Artemesion in the hope of destroying the Persian navy which threatened the southern Greek cities. The Greeks lost the sea battle, and the force at Thermopylae, its mission over, was withdrawn. The Spartan and Thespian contingents remained to cover the withdrawal and were annihilated.

The defence at Thermopylae was to force a naval engagement in the nearby strait of Artemesion, wih the object of destroying the Persian fleet threat to the Greek cities. The Persian fleet won the three day naval battle and the Greek fleet withdrew to try again at Salamis. The blocking force led by Sparta at Thermopylae withdrew as it had no further purpose. THe Spartan and Thespian contingents selflessly continued to hold the pass to allow the other 5,000 contingents to escape. They were slaughtered. This engagement had no effect on the outcome of the war other than as a symbol of resistance.

Just the same. The delay at the pass at Thermopylae was to force the Persians to turn the position by sea, and so bring on a sea battle with the Greek navies lying in wait in the strait beside the pass. The sea battle failed, and the Greeks withdrew their fleet to try again (successfully) at Salamis. When the sea battle failed the Greek army contingents were withdrawn and the Spartan and Thespian contingents remained behind to cover the withdrawal, and were overwhelmed.

The Persian Wars would have proceeded the same if the Spartans had not slowed the Persians at Thermopylae. The reason the Spartans wanted to hold up the Persian advance was to force a sea battle in the Artemisium Strait to destroy the Persian navy.The Persians won the sea battle, and it had to be refought later at Salamis. After the failure of the sea battle, the blocking force at Thermopylae was withdrawn. The battle had no effect on the outcome of the invasion.No difference whatsoever, the Persians simply moved on with a three day delay of no effect.
