What two city state united to defeat the Persians in the Persian war?
If you mean Sparta and Athens, they were not rivals but supported each other. The rivalry came after the Persian invasion was repelled and Athens turned the Delian League it had led against the Persian Empire into an empire of its own and used its resources to try to dominate the Greek world.
The supreme leader of Iran is Ayatollah Khomenei, he is elected by the Assembly of Experts. The Assembly of Experts are elected by the people. though, in my opinion, he is a sick man, he forces unfair laws based on religion unto the people. I my self am Iranian and I love my country, but he ruined it all.
How did the Persians lose the Persian Wars?
They lost the punitive expedition against Eretria and Athens in 490 BCE - successful against Eretria captured and its inhabitants sold into slavery, but lost against Athens at Marathon. The Persians split their force, sending their cavalry by sea to take Athens by treachery. When the Athenians at Marathon saw the cavalry embarked, they rushed down from the hills where they had been lurking to avoid the cavalry, and ran over the inferior Persian infantry. They then ran back the 26 miles to Athens and formed up in front of the city gates to stop the cavalry. The Persians went home.
The real invasion to take over mainlaand Greece in 480 BCE was frustrated by losing the naval battle of Salamis, which removed the threat of amphibious raids against the cities of the Peloponnese which kept the city armies a home to defend them. It also exposed the sea supply fleet of the Persian army. In a poor countryside, Xerxes had to take half his army home, and the following year the Greek cities concentrated against the remaining Persian army and its Greek allies at Plataia and defeated them. At the same time the Greek navies defeated the remaining Persian fleet at Mykale.
Athens then formed an anti-Persian alliance amongst the Greek cities in Persian territiories which ensured the success of subsequent naval battles at Eurymedon and Cyprus. The Persians then entered a peace treaty, undertaking to stay out of Greek waters.
Why are Iranians called Persians even though Persia no longer exists?
The original name Iran (= Aryan) was overlaid in the west by the Greek name Persia. This persisted until modern times. In 1935 the Shah (king) tried to reinstate Iran as the name, but this was not successful and in 1949 either name use was accepted. In recent years international use has accepted Iran, however the word Persian is used in some contexts.
