Best Answer

About 180 city-states of Asia Minor and the Aegean islands called the Delian league, which ad been led by Athens against the Persian Empire, were converted into an empire of Athens after the Persian threat ended. Athens lived of the resources of these cities, and levied naval and land forces from them. This gave it the power to meddle in the affairs of other Greek city-states, leading to the devastating 27-year Peloponnesian War against the Peloponnesian League led by Sparta.

One immediate outcome of the Battle of Thermopylae was that Athens and Sparta finally united true or false?

Sparta and Athens had been allies for some time. Sparta helped Athens in its struggle for democracy in late 507 BCE, and had also sent its army to help Athens at Marathon in 490 BCE 10 years earlier but had arrived too late for that battle. Athens was not present at Thermopylae, its forces were committed to manning its navy at the simultaneous battle of Artemesium. So the answer is False - Athens and Sparta were allies long before joining other southern Greek cities which united to repel the Persian invasion, and remained allies until 460 BCE when they had a falling out.


Who helped the Persian what did he tell them to do in the battle of Marothon?

The ex-tyrant of Athens Hippias who the Persians intended to re-install in Athens after they captured it.


Who were Sparta's allies?

Alliances in Greece changed. For example several times Sparta and Athens fought on the same side, at others on opposing sides. Similarly at times Sparta and Thebes fought together, at other times were opponents. Generally Sparta was allied to other Doric city-states, though again this was not a hard and fast rule. And although Persia was usually an opponent of the Greek city-states, it was Persian financial support which enabled Sparta and its allies to get a competent fleet in the Peloponnesian War and defeat Athens.


Why didn't slaves revolt in Sparta?

The slaves or the helots (means slave) didn't revolt because they were to scared to. They were treated really harshly. There were alot of helots. The people were smart to treat them really bad for they can't go againt them. I hope that helped. :D


Who was the leader of Athenians?

There were many leaders in the golden age of Athens. This 'golden age' was where everything seemed to be going well between Sparta and Athens. They had just defeated the dreaded Persian Army, and had signed a treaty with Sparta to protect Greece from future Persian attacks. The win went to Athens's head and they thought they were unstoppable. This leaded to war between Sparta and Athens, as they both wanted to lead over all of Ancient Greece. They were the two biggest super powers on Earth; war was definitely going to happen. Athens was lead by many people in their golden age, these leaders were what helped Athens stay on top for an amount of time. They had some very foolish leaders, some who did not contribute anything to Athens, but some were very good leaders in both war and their people. I hope this helped you. thank you.

Who helped Sparta defeat Athens in the Peloponnesian Wars?

the macedonians of course... No, not the Macedonians. Sparta had many cities aligned in a league to defeat Athens, and some had formerly been Athenian allies who turned their coats because Athens treated them too harshly. Also, Sparta later formed an alliance with an old enemy, Persia, which continued to meddle in Greek affairs after their defeat by Sparta and Athens many years earlier. Persia gave Sparta money for a fleet. nobody helped them Yes, somebody helped them. They could not have done it without help, especially from the Persians and the Syracusans. Read the history.


How do the Persian Wars bring Athens and Sparta together and then tear them apart?

Athens and Sparta were friendly before the Persian War. They naturally joined the alliance which repelled the Persian invasion. A Spartan force helped Athens retain its government against a revolt pre-war. Athens post-war helped Sparta put down a serf rebellion, but then started to side with the serfs, so the Spartans sent them home. That was the split.

Who was the battle of marathon agenst?

It was Athens against Persia. Athens helped Miletus (another city-state) in a battle against Persia. Athenians didn't actually fight, they just helped Miletus by giving them ships and weapons. Miletus lost against Persia and when Persia discovered that Athens had helped Miletus they wanted the Athenians killed. Thus the battle of Marathon began.

What were similarities and difference between Athens and Sparta?

Sparta and Athens had many differences and similarities in their government. Only a few Greek city-states had kings. Sparta had two kings, usually cousins or brothers. One would stay home and the other would go off to fight wars. Athens created the first democratic system and many other city-states copied them. Athenian democracy did not give power to everyone. Most of the people in Athens couldn't vote, including women, slaves, foreigners, and children.


What is the same about Sparta and Athens?

Athens loved to learn, they did fight in wars, and they were central government. Sparta loved to fight, they had some girls play sports too! They people were really strong, so that helped them in war. Sparta wanted to be in control, they both go to war. That brings Greece down to distruction.
