Marathon was not a war, it was one battle in a 50-year war between Persia and the Greek city-states. The most important battles were Salamis, Plataea and Mycale. The significance of Marathon is that it was the first time that the Persians were defeated, and this Athenian victory showed to the other Greek city states, after nine years of Persian victories, that the Persians could be beaten.
