Answer:

The Battle of Marathon was part of the First Persian War. Darius I of Persia sent an army to try and conquer Athens, but it was defeated.

Explanation:

The Battle of Marathon was the decisive battle that ended the First Persian War and the Persians' first attempt to conquer the Greek city states.

In August 490 BC a Persian expedition army landed on the advice of Hippias on the east coast of Attica, near the village of Marathon, a long walk from Athens. Under the charismatic leadership of Miltiades, the Athenians managed to thwart this attempt. According to high estimates, the Persians lost 6,000 to 7,000 men. On the other hand, "only" 192 Athenian warriors, whose remains were buried on the spot in a still existing burial mound.

According to a story from later times, the messenger Phidippides brought the news of the Greek victory in one go to Athens, where he died of exhaustion on arrival. It is probably a legend. Nevertheless, the Marathon run was introduced as a reminder when the modern Olympic Games were set up. Historically, the Athenian troops immediately returned to Athens at a rapid pace after the Persians' departure, a forced march of seven hours. They arrived on time to prevent a second landing attempt from the Persian fleet that had sailed around Cape Sunion.

Who destroyed Jerusalem and scattered the Jews throughout the world?
dedylja [7]
Diaspora, (Greek: “Dispersion”) Hebrew Galut (Exile), the dispersion of Jews among the Gentiles after the Babylonian Exile or the aggregate of Jews or Jewish communities scattered “in exile” outside Palestine or present-day Israel. Although the term refers to the physical dispersal of Jews throughout the world, it also carries religious, philosophical, political, and eschatological connotations, inasmuch as the Jews perceive a special relationship between the land of Israel and themselves. Interpretations of this relationship range from the messianic hope of traditional Judaism for the eventual “ingathering of the exiles” to the view of Reform Judaism that the dispersal of the Jews was providentially arranged by God to foster pure monotheism throughout the world.
