Persian Wars

A battle does not a war make.

The Persia War lasted 50 years 499-449 BCE. It comprised many battles over the 50 years. Some names are: Lade, Marathon, Salamis, Plataia, Mykale, Eurymedon, Cyprus.

He was below military age during the Persian War.

He fought in the Peloponnesian War.

If you mean they had defeated the independent Greek city-states in 480 BCE, they would have installed a puppet government in each of the city states, and a Satrap (governor) for a new province of Greece. The city populations would have been restive, and there would have been frequent coups to get rid of the puppets, just as had happened throughout the previous three hundred years, and had happened in the Greek cities of Asia Minor. These coups would have been put down with increasing ferocity, so Greece would have been in turmoil. How long it would have taken to gain back their independence is anybody's guess.

They lasted 50 years 499-449 BCE.

The Persian objective was to promote peace and stability within its empire which included Greek cities in Asia Minor and the Islands..

The Greeks outside the emepire in mainland Greece provided support to rebellious Greek cities within the empire.

Persia decided to incorporate those cities into its empire to create an ethnic frontier to end troubles.

The southern mainland Greek cities resisted.

They established naval superiority and progressively defeated the Persian sea and land forces.

The Persians agreed to stay away from the Greek cities.

It saw the re-empowerment of the ruling class which had led the resistance to the Persian invasion, setting back the transition to democracy underway for the previous generation.

It took a new push led by Ephialtes two decades later to reinvigorate the democratic push.

The First Persian War ended with Persia abandoning its punitive expedition against Athens after the Battle of Marathon. The Second Persian War ended with the Persian Navy withdrawing and abandoning the army to its fate, leading to the Greek military victory at Platæa and the Greek naval victory at Mycale practically simultaneously, though many miles apart. Finally, Alexander the Great conquered the Persian Empire defeating Darius III and claiming all its territory for himself. The reasons are many, varied, and complicated and fill several volumes of histories.

The revolt of the Greek city-states in western Asia Minor which was part of the Persian Empire. The outcome led to Persia trying to pacify the area by incorporating the city-states of mainland Greece within the empire.

It was an anti-Persian league, which in modern parlance has been called the Delian League because it started by having its treasury in the island of Delos. As Athens progressively turned this league into an empire, and the Persian threat abated with a peace treaty in 449 BCE, Athens migrated the treasury to its Acropolis, where it was more conveniently available to squander on beautifying the city and paying for half the population in its public service.

Athens turned the Delian League which it led against the Persian Empire into an empire of its own.and milked the 180 city-states of money to benefit itself promoting arts, learning, building and handouts to its own citizens - a golden age indeed.

Cyprus 450 BCE.

The Peace of Callias was agreed the year after that, that Persia would stay out of the eastern Mediterranean, which was intended to allow the Greek cities of coastal western Asia Minor free of Persian dominance.

Herodotus The Histories.

Xerxes (I) the Great of Persia was king during the Second Persian Wars. There was no king of Greece as the region was divided into a series of city-states (some of which had kings -- Sparta, for example, was led by King Leonidas who fought at the battle of Thermopylae, which the movie 300 was based on).

Alexander the Great took conquered it and took it over as his own empire.

After the battle of Marathon, the polis was considered as the most powerful city-state in all Greece. They thought themselves as heroes. They started to act like if they were superior in every ways: the way they thought, they way they fought ...

There is also Miltiades who were the Athenian general at Marathon who ambush Paros because they gave ships to the Persians. he didn't succeded and was sentenced to death. Because of him, there were no longer democracy in Athens. The population did not trust the politicians anymore and there were no more democracy for many decades.

Athens was also destroyed during the second Persian War. It was completely destroyed but no citizen was killed or made slave because they had the time to flee because of the 300 spartians. The Athenians then fought the naval army of Xerxes close to Salamis. They won, once again and were considered as the best polis ever in all Greece

It is about that

There is also the Delian League that consisted in an alliance between Athens and other polis. They had to pay Athens which was supposed to protect them if there were another Persian invasion but it never happened. The Athenians used the money to rebuild their city.

As the Persian empire expanded, it incorporated hundreds of Greek city-states dotted around the Black and eastern Mediterranean seas. These cities were originally coonies of cities in mainland Greece, and called on them for assistance, resulting in intervention.

Persia decided to incorporate the cities of mainland Greece into its empire to establish an ethnic frontier and avoid these troubles. Some cities were brought in by establishing puppet regimes, others resisted and Persia invaded in 480 BCE to take in the cities of central and southern Greece by force.

They eventually lost, withdrew and were involved in intermittent war until a treaty compromise in 449 BCE.

the answer before was wrong so i just thought of changing it and put NOTHING :D
He commanded Confederate forces at several battles and was finally charged with slowing Sherman's invasion of Atlanta.

No it was the fruits of the Persian War.

Athens turned the Delian League into an empire, and misused its funds to create a Golden Age for itself - the Parthenon etc, arts, philosophers, medicine all for free made it a golden age fro them, and they also put half their citizens on the public payroll using the funds of the other cities.

There was no Spartan-Persian War.

Persian Wars Persian Wars, 500 B.C.-449 B.C., series of conflicts fought between Greek states and the Persian Empire. The writings of Herodotus, who was born c.484 B.C., are the great source of knowledge of the history of the wars. At their beginning the Persian Empire of Darius I included all of W Asia as well as Egypt. On the coast of Asia Minor were a few Greek city-states, and these revolted (c.500) against Darius' despotic rule. Athens and Eretria in Euboea (now Évvoia) gave the Ionian cities some help but not enough, and they were subdued (494) by the Persians. Darius decided to punish Athens and Eretria and to add Greece to his vast empire. In 492 a Persian expedition commanded by Mardonius conquered Thrace and Macedon, but its fleet was crippled by a storm. A second expedition, commanded by Artaphernes and Datis, destroyed (490) Eretria and then proceeded against Athens. The Persians encamped 20 mi (32 km) from the city, on the coast plain of Marathon. Here they were attacked and decisively defeated (Sept.) by the Athenian army of 10,000 men aided by 1,000 men from Plataea. The Athenians were heavily outnumbered, but fought under Miltiades, whose strategy won the battle. They had sought the help of Sparta, by way of the Athenian courier Pheidippides, who covered the distance (c.150 mi; 241 km) from Athens to Sparta within two days. The Spartan forces, however, failed to reach Marathon until the day after the battle. The Persians did not continue the war, but Darius at once began preparations for a third expedition so powerful that the overwhelming of Greece would be certain. He died (486) before his preparations were completed, but they were continued by Xerxes I, his son and successor. The Athenians were persuaded by their leader Themistocles to strengthen their navy. In 480, Xerxes reached Greece with a tremendous army and navy, and considerable support among the Greeks. The route of the Persian land forces lay through the narrow pass of Thermopylae. The pass was defended by the Spartan Leonidas; his small army held back the Persians but was eventually trapped by a Persian detachment; the Spartan contingent chose to die fighting in the pass rather than flee. The Athenians put their trust in their navy and made little effort to defend their city, which was taken (480) by the Persians. Shortly afterward the Persian fleet was crushed in the straits off the island of Salamis by a Greek force. The Greek victory was aided by the strategy of Themistocles. Xerxes returned to Persia but left a military force in Greece under his general, Mardonius. The defeat of this army in 479 at Plataea near Thebes (now Thívai) by a Greek army under the Spartan Pausanias (with Aristides commanding the Athenians) and a Greek naval victory at Mycale on the coast of Asia Minor ended all danger from Persian invasions of Europe. During the remaining period of the Persian Wars the Greeks in the Aegean islands and Asia Minor, under Athenian leadership (see Delian League) strengthened their position without seeking conquest.

Miletus - its Persian-appointed Greek tyrant Aristagoras persuaded the Persian provincial governor to participate in a conquest of the Greek island of Naxos. The expedition failed, and Aristagoras, knowing Persian retribution was coming, stirred up the Ionian cities to revolt to cover himself.

The Persian Empire agreed to withdraw from the Greek city-states in Asia.

Athens converted the Greek city-states which it was allegedly rescuing from the Persian Empire into an empire of its own.

Another answer: After 50 years of fighting in which Persia suffered increasing losses, the Peace of Callias was agreed in 449 BCE. The Greek city-states were then free to return to their usual fighting each other, resulting in the Peloponnesian War, a destructive 27-year conflict which settled little, and led to further wars.

The sporadic wars between Greek city-states and the Persian empire ran from 499 to 449 BCE. They began with the Ionian War, then there were invasions and counter invasions for 50 years, all of which do not neatly fit into three wars.

Depends upon the time that they occurred. Ancient Persian Wars were significant during their times for the people that lived in those regions (like anywhere else). Therefore, which Persian War is in question?
