Question

I know what happened during the Ionian Revolt, but why was this important?

Answer 1

Answer:

The Ionian Revolt constituted the first major conflict between Greece and the Persian Empire, and as such represents the first phase of the Greco-Persian Wars. Although Asia Minor had been brought back into the Persian fold, Darius vowed to punish Athens and Eretria for their support of the revolt.

This revolt against the Persians marked the opening phase of the Greco-Persian Wars. After the Greeks' victory over Persia at the Battle of Salamis in 480 bc, the Ionian cities regained their independence and helped to form the Delian League with Athens.

Answer 2

Answer:

The Ionian Revolt was primarily of significance as the opening chapter in, and causative agent of the Greco-Persian Wars, which included the two invasions of Greece and the famous battles of Marathon, Thermopylae and Salamis. For the Ionian cities themselves, the revolt ended in failure, and substantial losses, both material and economic.
