As the Persians sought to destroy Athens and was planning to land their ships at marathon and march to Athens. Getting word of the oncoming fleet, the Athenians called upon <span>Phidippides to run the 140 miles to Sparta to ask for aid.
Sparta refused to fight as they religiously couldn't when the moon was full. Although they did later come to protect Athens.
</span><span>Phidippides then had to run all the way back (36 hours, mind you, to deliver the news)
</span><span>
Even without the Spartans, Athens won the battle despite being outnumbered 1:4
the surviving Persians set sail for Athens and by the time that the tired Athenian soldiers arrived back home. The Spartans had come to their aid and defended the city.

It was basically the first instance of cooperation in the face of a military conquest against another city-state - in this case, where Athens received aid.
My favourite videos explaining this. (although history channel does tend to exaggerate, it's 1 to 4 in a ratio of Athenians to Persians)

Answer:
The correct answer is D. The Confederate defeat at Antietam was important to the North because it prevented Britain from supporting the Confederacy in the war.
Explanation:
The Battle of Antietam is one of the largest battles in the history of the United States of America in terms of the number of casualties (dead and wounded) that reached 23,000 from both sides. The battle took place on September 17, 1862, near the town of Sharpsburg, Maryland. The battle was led by General George McClellan and the Confederate South by General Robert Edward Lee. Despite the numerical superiority of the North, McLennan failed to achieve a decisive tactical victory, and Lee was able to withdraw some of his troops to Virginia. Strategically, the battle was seen as a marginal victory for the North, that prevented both France and Great Britain from entering into the war to help the Confederacy.
