What is the current name for Persia?

Persia has been broken up into several countries. It once consisted of areas like Turkey, Afghanistan, Pakistan, Iran, and Iraq, extending even to parts of modern day Saudi Arabia, Greece, Israel, and Egypt.


What was the cause of foreign interest in Persia?

Persia adopted a cosmopolitan approach and developed culture and prosperity. The Greeks traveled there to look and profit. This was added to by Persia's expansion westwards into the Greek world, taking over the Greek cities in Asia Minor which embroiled it in the endless Greek wars. Ultimately the richness of the Persian Empire attracted adventurers who attempted to take it over as a ready-made empire ripe for the picking. Sparta's king Agesilaos was on the brink of success in Asia Minor when he was recalled to deal with troubles at home. Philip of Macedonia set up an expedition, but was assassinated before he could carry it through, and his son Alexander took over the project and successfully made the Persian Empire into an empire of his own.


What country made up the Medes' and Persian Empire?

Media and Persia. They then took over the Babylonian and Lydian Empires and moved on through Libya-Egypt in the west and Central Asia in the east.


What led to conflict between the Greek city-states and the Persian Empire?

The Greek city-states within the Persian Empire in Asia Minor were restive, and two of their mother-cities in Mainland Greece, Eretria and Athens, provided military support to them. During this in 498 BCE, forces from the two cities over-reached by burning down Sardis, the Persian provincial capital of Asia Minor. Persia mounted an amphibious punitive expedition against the two cities, capturing Eretria, but repulsed by Athens at Marathon in 490 BCE. Persia realised that these interventions would continue, and decided to incorporate the mainland Greek cities within its empire to keep them quiet. The invasion was defeated in a series of battles at Salamis, Plataia and Mykale 480-479 BCE, and sporadic warfare ensued for the following 30 years until Persia gave up and agreed to a peace in 449 BCE under which both sides undertook to stay out of each other's territories.
