The Persian Empire fought the Persian War against a couple of hundred Greek city-states over fifty years 499-449-BCE.
Atahualpa and Huascar fought for control of the Inca empire.
Greek cities interfered in the Persian Empire in support of the Greek cities within the Empire. This led the Persians to think that the only way for peace was to absorb the Greek cities into the Empire. A fifty-year war ensued.
There was no Greek Empire. The Greek world was comprised of over 2,000 independent city-states. Alexander, king of Macedonia which was not a Greek state, conquered the Persian Empire in a 10 year campaign; he died after that. His generals divided the conquered territories into kingdoms of their own.
The Greeks came first then the Romans.

After the Empire was established, their main problem was the Greek cities of Asia Minor which they had incorporated into the empire. These cities rebelled and it took six ears to suppress the revolt.some Greek cities in mainland Greece had supported the revolts, Persia decided to incorporate all the cities within the empire in order to control them. This resulted in a 50-year war until the Persians gave up. Then Macedonia dominated the European Greek cities and invaded the Persian Empire and took it over.
The Peloponesian Wars were a series of three wars between the Delian League led by Athens and the Peloponesian League, led by Sparta. In the end, Sparta triumphed. Although many cities fought in the war, Athens and Sparta led the two sides. Hundreds of the Greek city-states were embroiled, whether they liked it or not, in the 27-year war. The war was between Sparta and its allies and Athens and its empire.
The Byzantine Empire (the surviving, and Greek, part of the Roman Empire) was not a theocracy; it had a secular ruler, not a priest as ruler. However, the Greek Orthodox Church had a significant role in Greek society, and in matters where the Church had a considerable interest, its concerns would have been taken into account, and even guided the ruler's decision. As the Byzantine Empire shrank over its 1000 year history, the Greek Patriarch of Constantinople came to be the undisputed head of the Church in the Byzantine Empire, but he was never actual or defacto ruler of the state.
Athens turned the Delian League which it had led against the Persian Empire into an empire of its own, and used this power to try to oppress the other Greek city-states, leading to the devastating 27-year Peloponnesian War which it lost and was stripped of its empire.
No particular event can possibly mark 1,000 years of history. The history of this Empire actually lasted about 1,170 years. This figure refers to the fact that this empire lasted for another 1000 years after the fall of the Western Roman Empire. Historians use the term Byzantine Empire for the Eastern Roman Empire after the fall of the Western Roman Empire. The term is derived from Byzantion, the name of Greek city that was renamed Constantinople. It is used to indicate the fact that after it lost most of its non-Greek territories, this empire became centred on Greece and Greek in character. In 620 (ca. 140 year after the fall of the west) Greek replaced Latin as the official language of this empire.
Greek Indipendance Day is March 25. After being enslaved by the Ottomen Empire (Turkey) for 400 years Greek people fought for their indipendance, and won. The winning battle took place on March 25, 1821. In modern day times we celebrate Greek Indipendance day, as I sayed before, on March 25.
