Persian: Around 540 B.C. Persia conquered Greek cities in Asia Minor. About 500 B.C. the Greeks rebelled against Persia. Athens sent an army to help the colonies, but they couldn't defeat the Persians. Persia's King Darius I sent troops to attack Athens. Athenians met Persians on the plain of Marathon. Persia had more men, but Athens was able to defeat them in one day. Darius I died, and his son Xerxes took over as king. In 480 B.C. Xerxes sent about 300,000 soldiers in 800 ships to attack Greece. The Greek city-states joined their armies and navies to fight Persia. The Greeks won the war even though they had fewer men. Peloponnesian:Greek city-states formed leagues in case of future attacks. Sparta led the Peloponnesian League. Athens led the Delian League. Athens and Sparta were not satisfied with their power. The Peloponnesian League supported Sparta, and the Delian League supported Athens. The war lasted 27 years. Sparta attacked Athens. Citizens of Athens moved into the city. The city became crowded, and disease and starvation weakened the people. One fourth of the Athenian army died. Pericles also died. Demagogues (bad leaders) took over. Athens surrendered to Sparta in 404 B.C. Sparta replaced Athen's democracy with an oligarchy. Athens rebelled and returned to a democracy.
