The end result of the Greco-Persian Wars (492-449 BC) was that the Greeks successfully defended their territories against the Persian Empire, which attempted to conquer Greece. The war involved a series of conflicts, including the Battle of Marathon, the Battle of Thermopylae, and the Battle of Salamis. The Greeks, under the leadership of figures such as Themistocles and Leonidas, were able to repel the Persian forces and prevent their invasion of Greece. The wars had significant impacts on both Greek and Persian societies, including the strengthening of Greek identity and the decline of the Persian Empire.
