Information 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.

It is because their city was burnt to the ground that they got the motivation to fight back. They were prepared and had the tools to fight their opponents. There were bought positive and negative results experienced after the conflict was over. Culture change since people intermarried thus promoting cultural exchange which contributed to putting looking at every culture in a special way.

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.

After Greece won they transformed Delian League into their empire thus there were natural resources that they acquired through corruption. However the corruption of those days is totally different from what we term as corruption today. Those days corruption involved even stealing soldiers from your opponents as long as it worked to your favor and helped one win the battle.

Greece ended up owning a lot of natural resources which were not acquired using the legal means. Even if they were acquired through conquering the battle they only helped people who were from Athens. In those days when a country or a community won any battle they automatically took over what those they defeated owned thus making the acquisition method corrupt as they grabbed properties unfairly.

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.
