After a coalition of Greek cities led by Sparta repelled a Persian attempt to incorporate them into its empire, Athens took over leadership of a coalition of Greek city-states in Asia Minor which continued sporadic warfare against Persia. After 30 years of trying to impose peace by force, the Persians gave up and left the 180 cities to resume the usual fighting amongst each other.

Some were freed by Agesilaus of Sparta in the early 4th Century BCE, the rest by Alexander the Great in the later 4th Century BCE.
Why did the greeks have a grudge against the Persians?
There were about 200 Greek city-states within th Persian empire in Asia Minor and the Islands. These cities were never happy being under this control, and would appeal to their mother-cities in mainland Greece for support. This interference brought Persian reprisals, and when a punitive expedition against Eretria and Athens was defeated at Marathon, the Persians resolved to bring the mainland cities within their empire to ensure peace within it. The southern mainland Greeks resisted and drove back the Persian invasion, and thereafter formed a anti-Persian league from the Asian-Greek citie led by Athens to keep the cities free of Persian domination. After 50 years the Persians agreed to a peace under which they would leave the Asian cities alone. Afternote: Opportunist Athens then turned this league into an empire of its own, so the Greek cities still didn't get their freedom until the Spartan-led Peloponnesian League defeated Athens and freed the cities.
How did the Persian and Peloponnesian Wars affect the development and cooperation of the Greek poleis?
The Persian Wars lasted for fifty years, and brought the Persians to accept that the Greek city-states would be independent. The legacy of the Persian War was that Athens, having led a league of Ionian-Greek city-states against Persia for the second half of the Persian Wars, converted this league of apparently freed cities into an empire of its own. Athens used this Empire to finance its own benefit, and back aggression against the Peloponnesian League of Dorian-Greek city-states led by Sparta. This led to the Peloponnesian War between the two groups, which Athens lost, and was stripped of it's empire. Persia supported the Peloponnesian League during that war, and after that league defeated the Athenian league, and fighting still persisted between the Greek cities, took the opportunity to reclaim the Greek city-states in Asia Minor to its own empire.
Why where there so few Greeks at the Battle of Thermopylae?
Firstly, the armies of the city-states were at home defending their cities against expected Persian amphibious attacks. Secondly, only a few were required. The Greek plan was to close the route of the Persian army at the pass, and so force the Persian navy to try to bypass it, and so engage the Greek navy in the strait nearby. If the Greek navy had won, it would have ended the amphibious threat to the cities, and their forces freed up to concentrate for a land battle against the Persian army. The closing the pass part of the plan began to succeed, but the Greeks lost the naval battle at Artemesion, so the Thermopylai battle was to no avail. The Greek navy did win at the later battle of Salamis, and with the amphibious threat gone, the city armies were able to concentrate at Plataia the following spring (479 BCE) and defeat the Persian army and its Greek allies.
What was the cause of the ionian revolt?
The Ionian-Greek city states of Asia Minor and Islands resented being under Persian rule. They resented more the fact that native puppets were appointed as tyrants to rule over each city. Aristagoras, tyrant of Miletus, joined the Persian satrap Artaphernes in an attempt to conquer the island of Naxos. It failed, and as Aristagoras expected to be sacked, he incited all the Ionian cities to rise against Persian rule. The rising failed, and one by one the cities were reduced and brought back under Persian rule. In the middle of this, Athens and Eretria from Mainland Greece, intervened to help sister city Miletus. In the course of this, they burnt the Persian provincial capital of Sardis. King Darius determined to punish them and in 490 BCE sent an expedition to do this - Eretria was taken and enslaved, Athens defeated the expedition at Marathon and in front of the city. This brought Darius to the realisation that, if he wanted to maintain peace, he had to take the mainland Greek cities, establish an ethnic frontier with the cities there ruled by native tyrants, which failed, and eventually resulted in the Ionian cities being freed, and absorbed into an Athenian empire ... which resulted in the Peloponnesian War ... which resulted in the Persian King mandating peace amongst the cities of mainland Greece ... which resluted in Macedonia establishing hegemony over the mainland Greek cities ... which resulted in Alexander's conquest of the Persian empire ... which resulted in ...
