The Greek city-states in Asia Minor revolted against Persian rule. Mainland Greek cities intervened, causing Persia to determine that it needed to bring all the Greek cities under control to impose peace within its empire. After the war dragged on for 50 years, the Persians gave up and left the Greeks to go back to fighting each other. Wealened by 70 years of this inter-city warfare, the Greek cities were an easy mark for a rising Macedonia, which took control of them, and used the combined power to take over the Persian Empire.
