What were the consequences of the Persian War for the Persians?
It essentially became a standoff - after the Greeks repelled the Persian attempt to incorporate them into the Persian empire, a peace was arranged and the Greeks went back to fighting each other. The Persian empire continued on until over-run by Macedonia.
In which modern day country do you find a large population of Persians?
In modern day Persia (Iran) and places like Los Angeles where the number of Persians is significantly high.
By the 5th Century BCE when the conflict between Persia and the eastern Greek city-states began, the Greek cities had spread all around the Mediterranean and Black Seas. Only the eastern cities were involved in the conflict. The Persian attempt to force peace on the ever-warring Greek cities failed, and these cities went back to their normal fighting amongst themselves, greatly weakening themselves in the Peloponnesian War between Athens and its empire and the Peloponnesian League led by Sparta.
The Persians became an interested spectator of this mutual destruction. It took MMacedonia under Philip II to bring them under control, and his son Alexander then carried out his father Philip's plan to seize the Persian Empire.
So the Persian Wars did not greatly affect Western civilisation - that arose on the back of Greek, Macedonian and then Roman control and culture in the West. The Persian Wars are part of history, not civilisation.

After too many losses, the Persians agreed to peace and left the Greek cities to go back to their usual fighting each other.

Most of the world's oil comes from these countries since these countries luckily sit on petroleum deposits. These deposits were created by trees that decayed over 300 million years ago and it happened that those countries sit on areas occupied by those primordial forests. There is no other reason.
In Iran do people live in urban or rural ares?
Iran in agriculture is very strong. There are many villages in Iran, its people and livestock Agricultural living.
There are different perspectives concerning this question depending on whether the Islamic Republic of Iran (the current government and its Constitution) is a democratic.
No.
Never ever or not at all we could say. because before the Islamic revolution (which comes back in 30 years and the rise of the mullahs), the Shah of Iran was in charge and people didn't have any effect on Governmental issues. Unfortunately, after the revolution, the remaining opposition which could have had a hand in ruling the country have been destroyed by the extremists of the current Islamic regime. The Islamic regime just uses people's votes to select a President who holds its point of view, instead of allowing the people to choose a President who represents their own ideals. People in Iran don't have the right to argue and complain about the regime. They don't have any freedom or security.
Yes.
There is democracy because people vote regularly for a President (currently Ahmadinejad) & 98 percent of people want the Islamic Republic.
Typical International Relations Answer: Halfway
Iran is typically considered an Illiberal Democracy (as opposed to Liberal Democracies like the United States, France, Germany, et al.). That is to say that while there are certain trappings of democracy, they are not sufficient to create a truly democratic atmosphere. Several things that Iran has which make it a democracy include: regular voting periods, different candidates, and different parties with conflicting interests. Several things that Iran has, which preclude it from being a Liberal Democracy include: suppression of political expression, unelected leadership (in the form of the Supreme Leader and his council), repression of political parties, widespread voting fraud, restrictions on the freedom of speech and in the press, required loyalty oaths (this prevents members of Parliament from speaking out on issues for minority constituencies which have been harassed by the government), and unbalanced campaigning (where the "desirable" candidate can slander other candidates, but cannot himself be publicly slandered to the same extent).

Why is it bad if Iran has nuclear weapons?
Answer 1
its not nessicarily bad seen as the us and everywhere else has them and its not fair they shouldn't but just imagine if they got angry at anyone..."bang" goes everyone
Answer 2
Many countries are worried that a Nuclear-Armed Iran could spark a massive Middle East War.
Israel is afraid of what Iran would do if it had a nuclear weapon since Iran has quite clearly stated that it foresees a future where Israel is wiped off the map (regardless of how many times they say that they never said that they will do the wiping). However, there are numerous other countries bordering or near Iran that feel threatened by that country's attempt to acquire nuclear weapons. Bahrain feels especially threatened since Iran has actually called Bahrain its "fourteenth province" and Iranian military leaders have said that suicide bombers are ready to strike at key sites around the Persian Gulf if necessary. Rulers in the UAE and Saudi Arabia have made an increasing rapprochement with the West to have added security from a possible Iranian assault which could come if Iran feels that it can strike with impunity. Such impunity would come from ostensibly having a nuclear weapon and threatening brinkmanship to whatever country would try to stop its conventional attack. We should not be surprised that from February 2006 to January 2007, Saudi Arabia, Algeria, Egypt, Jordan, Morocco, Tunisia, Turkey, Syria, Yemen, Iraq, Libya, and the Gulf Countries all started or restarted their own nuclear research programs, which is the same period when Iran began to seriously aim for a nuclear weapon.
What advantage did Greece have over the Persians?
The Greeks were operating in 'internal lines', that is they were able to get their soldiers, weapons and food from local sources. The Persians had to bring theirs from Asia, and after their fleet was defeated at Salamis, had to send half their army home as they could not support them. With evened numbers, the superiority of the Greek armoured infantry was telling over the unarmoured Persian infantry, and they negated the Persian cavalry advantage by fighting on rough ground.
What is Iran legislative branch called?
Iran called on the legislature (parliament. Islami). It has 290 members. Members are elected with the votes.
What did the Persians believe in?
· There were three religions that the Persians were mainly made up out of: Zoroastrianism, Mithraism, and Manichaeism.
· When religion got really big, it was in around the 18th century (B.C.), whose current leader was named Zoroaster. This is where Zoroastrianism came from.
Nope, it's one of the most repressive countries in the world. The government is an "Islamic Republic" - it's controlled by Muslim clerics and elections are rigged so that their supporters always win. In 2009 there were protests against the rigged elections by the "Green Movement" but since then they have been subdued. The Arab Spring has inspired a few more protests, but since Iran is not an Arab country it has been less affected.
The government is very anti-American and anti-Israel. It had a long-time rivalry with Saddam Hussein in next-door Iraq, since he had unsuccessfully tried to invade them in the early 1980s. They opposed the American invasion, believing a US puppet state would be created. There is concern that they are trying to build nuclear weapons, because they have a nuclear power program even though the country has an abundance of oil.
The current regime dates from the 1979 revolution. Prior to that, Iran was controlled by a monarch called the Shah who made the country a US puppet state - although he wasn't nearly as bad.
The regime jails and tortures opponents, supresses much political opposition and media and executes over 250 people a year, often in public, making it second only to China. As for religious freedom - you can forget it. Recently international attention has been drawn to a Christian pastor who is facing execution for converting from Islam. The case has now been passed to the Supreme Leader. Mostly likely they will wait until the international attention has died down before making a final decision.
Does the constitution limit the power of the government in Iran?
The government of Iran is dominated by Islamic laws and by Islamic leaders who have a large influence in the secular parts of Iran's government. The government is often referred to as a republic -theocracy. Only Islamic law limits the power of government.
