Answer:

The Persian Wars began in 499 BCE, when Greeks in the Persian-controlled territory rose in the Ionian Revolt. Athens, and other Greek cities, sent aid, but were quickly forced to back down after defeat in 494 BCE. Subsequently, the Persians suffered many defeats at the hands of the Greeks, led by the Athenians.

What caused the Persian Wars? The Persian ruler Darius began the Persian Wars to subdue the rebellious Greek city-states in the western part of his empire. Wealth, new territory, and personal prestige were likely contributing causes. Darius' successor Xerxes continued the same aggressive policies.
