A large number of Greek cities were located in Asia Minor which the Persians took over.

The cities were restive and their parent cities in Greece intervened in their aid.

To gain stability in its empire, Persia decided to incorporate mainland Greece to establish an ethnic frontier.

These states resisted and war ensued and continued until Persia agreed not to attempt to rule the cities in Asia Minor.
