Answer 1

The Ionian Revolt (499-494 BCE) was an uprising against the Persian Empire. In response to Persian rule, the Greeks in Ionia rebelled, but the revolt was ultimately crushed by the Persian forces.

Step-by-step explanation:

The Ionian Revolt (499-494 BCE) was an uprising against the Persian Empire. In the mid-sixth century BCE, the Persians conquered the Greek city-states of Ionia and installed tyrants to govern them. The resident Greeks were unhappy with the rule of the tyrants, leading to a rebellion in 499 BCE. However, by 494 BCE, the Persian forces had crushed the revolt in Ionia and Cyprus.
