What To Know About Greek Persian Wars

By Helen Stevens


They involve conflict between Greece and propel of Persian Empire and were caused by different things. Greek Persian wars were beneficial to Greece because this was the first time they united against a common enemy and that is how they emerged the winner. Their culture spread since they were able to mingle with their opponents and intermarry.

Conflict was beneficial to Athens because it had some short term effects on the city. However after some time the city suffered from major economic downfall and the city was also deprived physically. Their democracy too was undermined because the people they relied on since they were not strong enough to fight the opponents therefore making them fail during the first attack.

When Athens was attacked for the first time nothing was destroyed bit during the second time it was burnt down to ashes. This angered most people and they joined their forces to fight back. They were determined to win at all cost. However not effects were negative there were some positive moments too like exchange of culture where people intermarried burying cultural differences.

A lot of these people in ancient days were traders and when they did not get along business wise differences occurred. Spartans were really mad at people of Athens because they felt that they used almost natural resource for their benefit. When these people got dissatisfied they began retaliating as they fought for equal share and when no one seemed to care the fight increased.

Those days what the ancient people termed as corruption did not involve one stealing money instead it was about dealing soldiers mainly. Greece transformed Delian League into their own empire and chased out any person who was not from their descent. This was not taken well by most of the people who initially lived on that land because the move felt selfish and only catered for needs of one community.

It also involved them using the funds acquired to just help the Athenians and getting land and private property for only people of Athens descent. This therefore means that they must have accumulated a lot of wealth to form their own empire. In most cases even in normal societies there is a thin line between power and corruption which makes people speculate that corruption was on the rise.

Once the fighting was over there are some achievements that came by like innovation of science and mathematics. The goal was to make Athens beautiful therefore architects came up with drawings on how they wanted the city to look like. History writers emerged during this period since they wanted to record what exactly happened when people fought and made plays out of these stories.

The fighting did not just have negative results to the people involved since scientist were in a position to make more discoveries that could help people eat healthier foods. People were now in a position to understand that most deaths occurred naturally. Before people were meant to believe that death was as a punishment from God, a misconception that has been done away with overtime.
