Themistocles was an Athenian general and statesman who played a significant role in the Greek victory over the Persians at the Battle of Salamis in 480 BC.

Themistocles was also instrumental in the development of the Athenian naval power that would ultimately lead to the rise of the Athenian Empire.

What caused the Sparta and the Persian war start?
There was no 'Spartan-Persian' War. There were two main Persian invasions, in 490BC by Darius I and 480BC by Darius' son Xerxes I. Sparta arrived too late at the main battle of the First invasion which the Athenians crushed at Marathon. In the second Persian war, Sparta sacrificed their best men along with their King (Leonidas I 490-480BC) at the battle of Thermopylae. 700 Thespians and 300 Thebans also gave their lives to delay the Persian advance. The Persians marched onto Athens which they sacked while the Athenians were safe on the island of Salamis. The Athenian fleet then defeated the vastly outnumbering Persian fleet at the battle of Salamis. The enormous land army engaged with 10000 Spartans leading about 30000 other Greeks at the battle of Plataea in 479BC and defeated the Persian invasion which then returned home to Sardis. The cause of the wars were simply Persia's desire to expand her empire and although many Greeks 'medized' and let the Persians occupy, many would not. Sparta's great belief in tradition (which did ultimately lead to her collapse) and her law of 'Never surrender' meant that submitting to the Persian occupation was not an option. However, Sparta was reluctant to engage in the war, and many states had raised arms long before Sparta.

How did Athenians maintain a democracy during Persian Wars?
Athens did not remain a democracy. The war required strong leadership, and the oligarchs took over again to organise and lead the war machine. They held on after the Persian invasion had been repelled and the struggle for the eastern Mediterranean continued. It was not until 20 year later that Ephialtes led a counter move and restored democracy.
How did the Spartans lead that helped the Athenians defeat the Persians?
When Xerxes's army invaded Greece, the army had to go through a mountain pass called Thermopylae. The Greek army consisted of 4,000 soldiers. For seven days, the Greeks held back the Persians, and the last three of those days were full on battle. However, a Greek traitor told the Persians of a way to pass around the Greeks. When King Leonidas of Sparta, who was the leader of the Greek army, found out that they were to be surrounded, he dismissed most of the army, remaining to defend the pass with only 300 Spartans, 400 Thebans, and 700 Thespians, and perhaps a few hundred others. Nearly all of those who stayed back were killed by the Persian army, but they helped to delay the Persian army and give the retreating Greeks enough time to escape. Whether the actions of Leonidas and the Spartans helped in Athens's final victory at Salamis I don't know, but he and his brave army did save the lives of thousands of Greeks.
