How might the history of Greece have changed if the Persians had succeeded at the Battle of Marathon?

If the Persians had won the battle of Marathon, they would have carried out their plan to appoint exiled Athenian tyrant Hippias to rule the city and keep it from interfering in the Greek cities within the Persian Empire. For a period there would have been a more stable era, but the Greek cities would have continued fighting amongst themselves, as they indeed continued to do after they repelled the subsequent Persian invasion ten years later, so little would have changed.


How might the history of Greece have changed if the Persians had succeeded at the marthonon?

The Athenians would have had a Persian-appointed tyrant to govern them, they would in due course have expelled the tyrant as they had done before, and the Greek city-states would have continued fighting each other as was their custom.

Why did King Philip think Greece would be easy to conquer?

King Philip of Macedonia saw Greece as weak and divided due to constant infighting between Greek city-states. He also believed that Macedonia's superior military strength, tactics, and leadership gave him an advantage in conquering Greece. Additionally, Philip exploited existing rivalries and political instability among the Greek city-states to further his conquest.


Why did the Persians think it was easy to conquer Greece?

They started by bribing many of the Greek city aristocracies to join them, and mounted an invasion force which they thought would outperform the resisting city-states, particularly as they were duped into thinking Athens would also come across to them and so leave the other Greek navies vastly outnumbered, as had been successfully achieved with the Ionian city-states in the Ionian rebellion.


How would history be different if the Persians defeated Greece?

What was the cost of the battle of Marathon?

The Persians decided that the Athenian victory would encourage all the Greeks to rise against them, and determined to bring all the Greek cities under control, by agreement or conquest. Some agreed , some resisted and the Persians invaded mainland Greece, culminating in the battles of Salamis, Plataea and Mycale. The Greco-Persians lasted from 499 to 449 BCE.


Did the Persians win Greece and give it to Sparta?

Uh.... no. The Persians lost the war with Greece, and they didn't "give" Sparta anything. It would be more accurate to say the Spartans "gave it to" Persia, with "it" in this case being "a Grecian urn of whoop-ass": at the Battle of Thermopylae between the Persian Army and a Greek force commanded by a Spartan general, the Persians lost 10 times as many men as the Greeks did. However, since they had 15-20 times as many men to start with, the Persians did manage to take the pass after being held off by the Greeks for about a week (including three days of actual battle).
