Their plan was to defeat the Persian fleet in the naval battle, with hope, that their land army will withdraw, without support.
There was no 'Thrmopylai War'. there was a short engageent at Thermopylai as part of the Persian pust into southern Greece.
The Spartans and Persians did not fight a war. The Spartans were part of a coalition of Greek states which opposed the Persian invasion of mainland Greece 480-479 BCE. A Spartan force under King Agesilaos II invaded Persian Asia Minor in 396-395, liberating Greek cities and looting, but was withdrawn to face troubles at home.
Well, the 300 Spartans lost yes, but very shortly after, the persians sailed to a trap led by a double spy, Athens and the Spartans won at sea. The persians retrieted back to Asia Minor (now Turkey) and the greeks took the bridge apart.
The Spartans combined with the other southern Greek states to repel a Persian invasion designed to incorporate mainland Greece within the Persian empire in 480-479 BCE.It is often called today the Persian War, however the Greeks fought the Persians off and on over two hundred years.
The Spartans were involved in the Persian Wars, particularly the battle of Thermopylae (where 300 Spartans famously held off the Persians), the Peloponnesian War (against the Athenians), and other minor skirmishes with neighboring city states, which usually ended with the Spartans conquering the other city state.
Spartan and Persian war ended when the persians lost and the spartans won. the spartans started the war and destroyed the persian city. So now Persia isnt wealthy like they used to be. Still in these days, Persia and Sparta could be enimies but even though they dont like each other, they dont do a war. But Persia is getting wealthier, of course -7th grade teacher
They used Persian financial support to build a fleet to gain victory over the Athenian empire in the Peloponnesian War.
No. As leader of the anti-Persian Delian League they were natural enemies. The Persians provided money to the opposing Peloponnesian League led by Sparta.
Persia was taking over, but then the Spartans came to help and soon surrounded the Persians. The Persians lost war by losing more than 6000 troops, but then the Greeks lost less then 200 troops.
No. The Spartans defeated about 500,000 Persians along with about 1,700 Greeks. Later on in the war, they withdrew to defend Sparta and lost the war. The Spartans alone did not fight or defeat Persians and Persian allies. Many Greek city states allied and defeated Persians in land and sea battles in two separate wars. The only Greek defeat from the most famous battles in the two separate Persian invasions was in Thermopylae. And even then, few thousand Greeks died, including plus or minus 300 Spartans, while it is believed more than 20,000 Persians and their allies that included many Greeks, died in Thermopylae. So it was an honorable defeat.
No, the Spartans did not ally with Persia, but they allied with the Athenians or Greeks, or else there would not have been the famous 300.The Spartans allied with the Athenians during the Thermopylae battle, the Persian wars and the peloponnesian war. After 3 years of war following the stand of the 300 the Spartans and Athenians defeated Persia!Sparta never allied with Persia!
The Spartans won the Peloponnesian war, the only war between the Athenians and the Spartans.
