Perisan Wars.

Darius: Arisagoras just asked us to go on an expedition to conquer Naxos. By doing this he started the Ionian Revolt. Aristagoras blamed his failure on us for some reason. He then all of a sudden decided to gang up on Perisa and burned down our capitol. I will have revenge on Athens and Eretia. We could not get out of stalemate until 495 B.C where we finally defeated them at the Battle of Lade. In 492, I decided to conquer Greece and avenge the city of Sardis. This first campaign did not end well so we sent out another one in 490 B.C. I let Datis in charge and he sailed across the Aegean Sea. They besieged Eretia, but while on route to Athens they were defeated at the Battle of Marathon.
Xeres I: My father died in 486 B.C, so I decided to finish his conquest. We managed to destroy most of the allied Spartans and Athens, but then searching for the remainder fleet we were defeated. The next year, Athens attacked us and defeated our army at the Battle of Plataea. The Greek invasion was over. However, the Greek decided to keep on attacking us. There was, although, peace in the end with the Treaty of Callias.
