Best Answer

Persia went to war with Greece (Athens and Sparta) as Persia wanted their land and Athens, Sparta and some other greek states said "No, you can not own our land." Or A Catalyst for the first war against the Persians was the Ionian Revolt. The Persians and the Greeks shared a border along the land known as Ionia in Asia Minor. The Greeks revolted and burned a village. Thus leading to a Persian counter-attack and war.
