The western Persian Empire incorporated a couple of hundred Greek cities, which were restive and sought help from their mother cities in mainland Greece. This interference disrupted peace in the Empire, and while Persia had determined to set its eastern boundary on the Aegean Sea, this external disruption prsuaded it to extend the boundary to incorporate the Greek cities in mainland Greece to establish an ethnic frontier.

War ensued.
