Question: from geak and persin primary sources how would things have been diferent if persians won

write outlines for answers (thesis three body paragraphs with primary source and explanation and conclusion)

1) Greece would be completely different if the Persians had won and not the Greeks.

2) "Once let us subdue this people, and those neighbors of theirs who hold the land of Pelops the Phrygian, and we shall extend the Persian territory as far as God's heaven reaches."

a) This quote shows that the Persians wanted to conquer all of Europe and would have destroyed anyone in there path if there were not stopped.

3) "The sun will then shine on no land beyond our borders; for I will pass through Europe from one end to the other, and with your aid make of all the lands which it contains one country. "

a) This quote shows that the Persian wanted to unite all of Europe under one leader. This would have made all of Europe under the control of Persian and all the great civilizations couldn’t have developed.

4) “It were indeed a monstrous thing if, after conquering and enslaving the Sacae, the Indians, the Ethiopians, the Assyrians, and many other mighty nations, not for any wrong that they had done us, but only to increase our empire, we should then allow the Greeks, who have done us such wanton injury, to escape our vengeance.”

a) This quote shows that the Persians didn’t treat their conquered territories well and Greece could not have prospered under its control.

5) If the Greeks lost the war then all of history would be different. The great thinkers and philosophers would not have been so well known, all of Europe’s development would have been stunted, and the Greeks would have been slaves. Also the great empires of Europe might not have been created.
