The Greek city-states assembled their armies at Plataia the following year (479 BCE) and defeated the Persian army and its Greek allies.
Simultaneously the Greek fleet wiped out the remaining Persian fleet holed up at Mykale in Asia minor.
That was the end of the invasion.
False. Yes/No questions are bad ones as you often don't learn anything from them, and they often give you the wrong result. Tell your teacher that. The real answer is: Whilst the Salamis battle was pivotal in ending Persian dominance in Greece, it took two more battles the following year to destroy the Persian forces - Platia and Mykale. Unless they had won those battles, the Greeks would have lost overall.
The Battle of Thermopylae took place in late summer or early fall of 480 B.C.E. In response to the latest Persian invasion of the Greek homeland, a small group of Greek allies, led by a soon-to-be-famous contingent of Spartans, assembled at the choke-point of the pass of Thermopylae in the hope of defeating, or at least delaying, the Persian army approaching from the north.
The Persian cavalry gave the army an advantage of mobility over the Greek city-state armise which were basically heavy armoured infantry. The cavalry was able to attack the flanks and rear of the infantry formations, which had to keep to broken ground to nullify the cavalry.
The building your talking about is the Parthenon It was destroyed by cannon fire and is being rebuilt today. The building that was destroyed then rebuilt was the Parthenon. During the Persian invasion in 480BC, the Persian were storing gun powder in an old temple. It soon was set on fire and blew up. The Parthenon we see today is actually the second Parthenon. The Greek Ministry of Culture are creating a restoration programme to restore the Parthenon and return the Elgin marbles or Parthenon Marbles back to Greece. Hope this helps isy_k
Quite near the end. As soon as Harold Godwinson was killed the English Army did not have a leader and soon lost heart and passion for the Battle. However they did carry on fighting bravely.
It ended the following year after the land battle of Plataia and amphibious battle of Mycale.

The German invasion of Poland was the final straw for France and England as they soon after entered World War II.
The Persian war was a series of battles fought between Greece and Persia. Such as Battle of Thermopylae, Battle of Marathon and Battle of Salamis. Though both sides suffered heavy losses to their armies, Greece won the battle. They did this in the battle of Salamis. The kept retreated to the strait of Salamis and the Persians kept advancing. They did not know how to navigate in the waters and thus Greece sunk around 200 ships of the Persians and they surrendered. The Greeks had won a lengthy battle and this also led to the making of the Delian League.
The city-states of southern and central mainland Greece held a conference and resolved to oppose th Persian demands for submission. They also sent envoys to the western Greek cities in Sicily and the islands soliciting support. They elected Sparta to command on land and sea, and patched over standing disputes between the cities, at least for the time being. The Spartans and Athenians sent a force of 100 ships and 10,000 warriors to the pass at Delphi to try to head off a Persian advance, but finding that thee pass could be easily outflanked by an inland route, soon abandoned it. It was obvious that the key factor was the dominant Persian fleet, which could threaten all of the southern city-states one by one, which as a consequence kept their armies at home defending their cities, and these cities could be defeated one by one. So in order to be able to concentrate their land forces against the Persian army they had to get rid of the threat of the Persian fleet. They resolved to block the Persian army at the pass of Thermopylai and so force the Persians into a sea battle to turn the position, and the sea battle would be in a narrow passage at Artemesion wher the larger and more numerous Persian ships could be matched. The sea battle faied and the blocking force was withdrawn from the pass, so they made a second attempt in the similarly narrow waters at Salamis, which suceeded. The depleted Persian fleet was withdrawn to Asia and half the Persian army was sent home as there was not enough food in Greece to support it during the winter now that the Persian fleet could no lomger protect the resupply ships from Asia. This evened things up. With the threat to their cities gone, the Greek cities sent their armies to join up in the spring and defeat the remaining Persian force and its Greek allies at Plataia. Of course, after they had defeated the Persians who went home, the cities went back to fighting each other.
The Greeks and Persians fought in many battles between 499 BCE and 449 BCE. However two great Greek victories stand out. The first, a sea battle in 480 BCE was fought at Salamis. The second was a land battle at Plataea the following year. These two battles defeated the Persian invasion of mainland Greece.
The league became ineffective and soon was abandoned as the world war 2 broke out.
No. Three hundred years too soon.
i really dont think this will be answered any time soon. too broad.
