Athens turned the Delian League it had led against Persia into an empire of its own and, in using it to try to dominated the other Greek city-states, came into conflict with the Peloponnesian League led by Sparta, resulting in the devastating 27-year Peloponnesian War.

∙ 7y agoAt the time of the Persian Empire's expansion into Greece,they had not been challenged until the Battle of Marathon when the defending Athenian army pulled a double envelopment tactic and crushed the Persians under King Darius while suffering only 192 casualties.Greece was the last country at the time that had a democracy type government controlling each of their own city states.If this governing system was to survive,the Greeks had to turn back the Persian hordes.Ten years later in 480 BC,the Persians again came,ready to crush all opposition,as at Marathon,when they came up against the Greek Phalanx,this time under Spartan King Leonidas's leadership at thermopylae,they again suffered heavy losses until Persian King Xerxes,son of Darius,received information about a path that went around the Greeks,he exploited this and won the battle but eventually lost the war.The battle at Salamis and Plataea spelled defeat for the Persians and preserved the Greek way of life and in the long run dictated how things developed in that important part of the world which I think had a huge effect on how history was written.

What is a description of the major battles of the Persian wars?
The only major battle of the First Persian was was the Battle of Marathon. The Three Major Battles of the Second Persian War consisted of, first, Thermopylae. At Thermopylae, three hundred Spartans, and a token number of soldiers from other cities, most notably Thespians and Thebans, held a narrow mountain defile against the bulk of the Persian army for three days until they were betrayed by a fellow Greek and the Persians encircled them, and slaughtered them to the last man. This sacrificial holding action gave the Greek city-states time to muster their militia forces in strength. Second, came the sea battle at Salamis. The Athenian fleet lured the Persian navy into a trap in the straits, limiting the maneuverability of the Persian's superior numbers. By destroying the Persian ships, the Greeks were eliminating the Persian supply system, forcing the bulk of the army into a retreat across Greece, while the Greeks harassed them, guerrilla style along the way, finally mustering a credible land force to defeat them at the Battle of Plataea, the third battle. Coincidentally, on the same day as Plataea, Greek Marines finished off the rest of the Persian fleet who had beached their ships at Mycale. Once the remnants of the Persian forces retreated across the pontoon bridge that Xerxes built across the Dardanelles during his advance, the Greeks destroyed it, ending the Persian threat.
