Sources I Used

British Museum. "Ancient Greece: War". The British Museum. Web. 16 October 2011. I used this website for finding out information on the war causes and effects. It gave me almost all of the information and was very helpful. __________________________________________________ Horizon Magazine. The Horizon Book of Ancient Greece. American Heritage Publishing Company. 1984. Print. I used this book for information on the king of Persia. I also used it to find out information on all of the wars. It is very helpful.

Cause

The Persian wars against Greece were caused because the Darius, the Persian king, wanted to expand their empire. The wars took place in the early 5th century B.C. but the first attack was around 490 B.C. but the Persians lost. King Darius was humiliated and wanted to continue on which caused the series of wars.

Effect

The wars with the Persians affected ancient Greece greatly. The Athens were destroyed by the Persians, but the Athenians built the beautiful buildings that are important cultural aspects today. In Greek art, there are many scenes of Greeks fighting Persians. The wars also led to the unity between the Greeks. It was essential to their success in defeating their enemy because of how strong and large the Persians were.
