They would send 45,000 troops to support the Athens. The Spartan army was the most crowded that ever seen in any war.

The Persian General has made strategic mistakes 

When Mardonius learnt that the Spartans would send troops to support the Athens, he completely destroyed the Athens. He thought that the Greeks would not be able to unite and the early attack would be able to provide him victory before the Greeks were gathered. But,it was not the case at all. The attack was repelled by Greek opposition. The Greeks moved along to the Platea. Now,both army faced with each other and they expected the first attack from each other.

The first attack was started by the Persian army. The Greek armies drew the Persians troops by giving withdrawal impression to the point of war that they wanted. Here,the Persians would have been heavily defeated.

When the Greeks had won the battle of Platea, they would defeat the Persians navy at the Mycle sea warfare within the same day. Thus, while the Persian’s dreams about conquering the Greece was ended there could also accessible the time of that Alexandre the Great conquering the Persia.

The Victory of the Greek people ‘s common struggle in the Temple of Delphi
