Using the information above and your answers to the six questions, write an informative paragraph (5-8 sentences). Make a connection between the two wars by answering the following question: How did the outcome of the Persian Wars lead to the Peloponnesian War?

TEACHER SAMPLE In 499 B.C., the Persians began to expand their empire by capturing territories around the Mediterranean region. When they invaded Greece, Sparta and Athens knew they could not defeat them alone, so they were forced to become allies against the Persians. During the war, the Athenians won an important battle at Marathon. The Greeks also won several battles at sea. Eventually, the Greeks defeated the Persians and their empire. The Persian Wars forced all Greek city-states to work together to defeat the Persians. After the war, the Spartans believed the Athenians were too powerful and controlled several smaller city-states and their money. Sparta was angry that Athens took advantage of these city-states, by using their money to beautify Athens, and to build extravagant statues and temples, such as the Parthenon. The Peloponnesian war between Sparta and Athens began in 431 B.C. after Sparta attacked Athens. In 405 B.C., Sparta wins the war, after surrounding Athens and cutting off their food and supplies. War and disease devastated the Greek city-states. Eventually, Macedonia, under Alexander the Great, took over all of Greece.
