- The Battle of Marathon was fought because the Persian Army wanted to defeat the Greek city-states that supported the uprisings in Ionia, part of modern-day Turkey, against the Persian Empire.
- During the Marathon, The Persians would invade Greece again in 480 B.C. under Xerxes I, son of Darius, who planned to succeed in conquering Greece where his father had failed. Then after that The allied Greek city-states under King Leonidas of Sparta held off the Persian invasion for seven days in the Battle of Thermopylae, earning them a place in history for their last stand in defense of their native soil.
- The Battle of Marathon was significant because it proved to the Greeks that the Persians were not unbeatable , which boosted the moral of the Greek troops, increasing their confidence to incline themselves in a common cause if the Persian attacked again. It was also important because it was the first turning point that proved Greeks won over the Persians.
