How did the Athenians win the Persian war?

Answer 1

Marathon.

Addition:

Marathon was the Athenian victory in the First Persian War. In the Second Persian War, the Athenian fleet defeated the Persian Navy at Salamis, and destroyed what remained of it at Mycale.

Comment:

Athens did not defeat the Persian navy at Salamis. The victory at Salamis was achieved by a coalition of 21 Greek city-states which was led by Sparta and included a major Athenian component.

Athens could claim the victory at Marathon as it commanded the 10,000 soldiers and provided 9,000 of them (Plataia provided 1,000).

Answer 2

The Athenians did not win the Persian Wars. The southern mainland Greek city-states in alliance defeated the Persian invasion of 480-479 BCE in three battles - Salamis 480 BCE, Plataia and Mykale 479 BCE.

They achieved these victories by good stratedy and tactics, fighting the Persians on ground/sea locations which optimised their superiority in naval tactics and their advantage of armoured infantry by fighting on ground which neutralised the superior Persian cavalry.
