How would history be different if the Persians defeated Greece?

In the short term, there would have been stability in mainland Greece instead of the Greek city-states continually fighting each other - the Persians ran a good administration as they had shown in Asia Minor. What would have happened in the medium to long term we don't know.


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.

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).


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