Where did the Greek revolt start in the Persian wars?

Answer 1

The revolt began among the rich Greek city-states (autonomous former colonies) in what was called Ionia on the Aegean coast of Asia Minor. They had been free until the Persians defeated the kingdom of Lydia and began to impose their rule on the neighboring Greeks. Because Athens particularly helped these Greeks, she became the target of a Persian invasion; however, the Athenians decisively defeated Persia's numerically superior host on a plain called Marathon in 490 B.C. (the name for our modern foot-race comes from this victory, of course).

Answer 2

The Greeks sent Navel and Army forces to help the Ionians who were conquered by the Persians. The Persians eventually crushed the rebellion, and turned it attention to Greece. The Greek help given to the Ionian revolt made them the next target for the expanding Persians empire. Shortened because the Greeks helped the Ionians they angered the Persians.

Answer 3

It was a revolt in the area known as Ionia (Aegean islands and Western Turkey) and Athens' assistance to the rebels that angered the Persians and led to the Wars between Greek and Persian.

Answer 4

It began in Ionia, a coast now in Turkey below Istanbul. The revolt was started by the men of Miletus, who persuaded the members of the League of cities there to join their fleets together and give battle to the Persians. They lost. Then their Ionian Greek and Doric brothers in mainland Greece took up the struggle--at Thermopylae and Salamis--and the rest, is, lierally, history.
