Aftermaths That Take Place During Greek Persian Wars

By Jason Adams


Wars have predominantly made a massive impact and change to a country. Due to several reasons, countries wage wars with one another and eventually cause havoc to the lives and properties of millions of people. Years ago, there were huge wars which have massively made a mark at our History.

Books and some sources provide us with accurate facts that would keep us educated. One of the greatest and perhaps the most remembered wars is Greek Persian Wars. Of course, this event signaled the year long fight between Greeks and Persians. Both nations have received massive destruction and other things. Additionally, aftermaths occurred and definitely cause more major mayhem. To keep you educated about various things, learn and explained in the following are few ideas.

At the time of Sparta, the Thebes and also Athens decided to cooperate with one another to fight against Persia. This clearly denote that Greeks were united which was never a usual thing to how Greece was viewed. Later, these places gradually soon entered the battle stage to fight amongst themselves. One could argue that such wars have divided Greece and weaken their forces.

Persia also face consequences mostly because of embarrassment and the loss of their prestige. During one of the campaigns, they severely received damages from their equipment and also manpower. The defeats they encountered so far deter their future leaders to make a move and explore deeper into Greece. Later on the succeeding months, Persians assure that Greeks treat them equally.

Persians obtained foothold on Europe, which parts mostly consist of Macedonia and Thrace. There were other deadly and infamous events which occurred that give Macedonians the power to be independent and Thracians to regained control. They even have foothold in West of Aegean. Eventually, Persian sack Athens mainly because of support given by Greeks to Ionian rebel.

The Persians were eventually pushed out to the Achea. It was at that time that they were outnumbered by their sworn enemy. Another reason why they were mercilessly defeated was because there was rebellion back in their home that require a sheer number of forces to retreat. Lots of other things still and still cause lots of problems and inconveniences to everyone in the long run.

Greece was then divided between the league called as Delian. This was considered as the lead of Athens, along with other involved parties. Persia offer their support to various parties in order to destabilize the conflicting situations. Athens were eventually defeated, but then the Spartans and also Thebes were in conflict. Thebes then crushed Sparta, however, they seem not strong enough to rule Greece.

The alliance of Greeks have completely annihilated the Persian fleet. Despite some good acts they did to one another, the spoils caused by such war have breed conflict, hatred and other negative emotions. More and more problems arise and significantly destroy them both.

Such war has undeniably caused bad things to both involved parties. The good news is that they finally settled to end this. Even if this takes a year to realize, at least everything has halted.
