The Persian Wars were the first known international conflict fought by European states. The immediate result was to give the Greek cities, particularly the Delian League led by Athens, hegemony over the Aegean Sea and the Eastern Mediterranean, and the approaches to the Pontic Sea (Black Sea) for a hundred years, until first Macedonia and then Rome conquered the Greek world.

(It made it much easier for Alexander the great to conquer Persia, decades after the Persian Wars.)

They put an end to Persia's expansion into Europe, and laid the foundation for Alexander of Macedon targeting it and establishing his empire in Asia. This flowed on to a later Roman takeover of the east as they expanded their empire into the Greek world.

because the Persians were awesome

The Persian Wars wound up strengthening Greece, particularly Athens and Sparta, and weakening the Persian army and navy to the point where Alexander the Great (of Macedonia) with a combined Greek army, was able to defeat Persia in his expedition two generations later.

It put an end to the Persian attempt to enforce peace on the ever-warring Greek city-states.

It also left a legacy of hostility to Persia which eventually gave Macedonia, after it had suppressed the Greek city-states, a cause to expand to take over the Persian Empire.
