Greece and Persia had conflict primarily due to territorial expansion and cultural differences. The Persian Empire sought to expand its influence over the Greek city-states, which were fiercely independent and valued their autonomy. Tensions escalated with events such as the Ionian Revolt, where Greek cities in Asia Minor rebelled against Persian rule, prompting Persia to retaliate. This led to significant conflicts, including the famous battles of Marathon and Thermopylae during the Greco-Persian Wars.

The Greek city-states which did not side with Persia.
One reason Persia attacked Greece was to expand its empire and assert dominance over the Greek city-states, which were seen as a threat to Persian influence in the region. The Ionian Revolt, where Greek city-states in Asia Minor rebelled against Persian rule, also provoked the Persians to retaliate and punish the Greeks for their support of the rebels. This conflict ultimately led to the larger confrontations during the Greco-Persian Wars.
