Like the Trojan War, the Persian Wars were another moment in Greek history. In the middle of the sixth century BC, the Greek city-states along the coast of Asia Minor came under the control of the Lydians and their king, Croesus (560-546 BC). However, when King Croesus died in 546 B.C., the Persians took advantage of that. They conquered the Lydians in 546 B.C. The Persians took control of their new cities by letting individuals rule the states. They also required citizens to make food and catch clean water for the Persian army and to pay more taxes. The rulers of the cities, lead by Aristagoras, began a democratic rebellion in 499 BC. Aristagoras had been placed in power by the Persians, but when he commanded the Persians to attack Naxos he failed, and he began to fear for his life. So he rebelled against the Persians and went to the Greek mainland for help. He went first to the Spartans (since they were the most powerful state in Greece). They did not help him. When he went to the Athenians, they gave him twenty ships. In 498 BC, the Athenians conquered and burned Sardis, which was the capital of Lydia, and all the Greek cities in Asia Minor. The Athenians, however, lost interest in all of this and went home. By 495 B.C., the Persians, under king Darius I (521-486 BC), had taken back control over the rebellious Greek cities.

**<span style="color: rgb(248, 140, 53)">Battle **
The Greeks had a very ridged battle tactics. For example, Infantry tactics were that warriors fought with their right hand and used their left hand to hold the shield. Because of this, army commanders would attack the far right side of Greek legions to take advantage of this inherent defect. however, this was balanced out by many factors. for example Greek weapons were by far the most innovative, if not effective. these include the giant mirrors for burning Persian battle ships and the worlds first flame thrower.

Xerxes I built a boat bridge connecting the Black Sea and the Aegean Sea. The boat bridge was over a mile long and many boats were needed. The way they built the bridge was by lining up the boats so they were close to each other, then they would anchor them down so they wouldn't float away. Once they were secured they would lay planks across one boat to the next. This was a very hard job to do because the sea had to be very calm. The bridge had to be rebuilt many times because of the wind storm and sea storms. Once the bridge was built this is how some of the Persian army crossed into Europe.
