The Persian Empire stretched from present-day Pakistan to Libya, and so was composed of many different peoples and cultures.
Persia tried to run a stable structure, imposing bearable taxes, maintaining peace, and protecting from external invaders.
Each province had it own flashpoint, and rebellions broke out from time to time - Egypt, the Greek cities of Asia Minor, the Scythians and so on. Rebellions were usually promoted by local opportunists seeking to gain from provoking rebellions.
The Greek tyrant of Miletus persuaded the Persians to support him in an attempt to capture the island of Naxos. It failed and to protect himself against a Persian reprisal, he roused up the Greek city-states of Ionia to rebel against Persia.
