The Reason why Persia invaded Greece (illustrated Summary of the Ionian Revolt)

Everyone Knows about the Greco-Persian Wars, But very often the “Why” they happened tends to be glossed over when people talk about them and talk more about the famous battles like Marathon and Thermopylae. But that’s why I’ve decided to make a video dedicated to the “Ionian Revolt” which was the catalyst to the wars.

Most of this video is basically "According to Herodotus" After a long time I finally finished this. This video took a bit of time, since like usual I’ve been busy with Art and the Internship. Anyway Next video is gonna be Part 2 of the Spanish and Portugal video! So like… see you in one or two months ._.

Herodotus' stories have got nothing on Titus "Trust Me Guys the Romans Totally Fought A Dragon During the First Punic War" Livius and his totally factual history

"I got a tattoo to honor my heritage and people, why did you get a tattoo?"
"To share a message between two tyrants while they cut my hair..."

I'll give Histiaeus one thing, that's certainly a way to send a message.

man, i love the outfits and character designs of nations/states in different time periods, Athens turning into an empire has to be my favourite in this one

[-.blake.-]

You managed to make one of my least favorite eras of history fun to listen to, impressive

[JuanPena-husu]

As an admirer from America, I greatly appreciate how you broke this down Yuric. Also as a subscriber, keep doing you as quality content shouldn't be rushed. Take your time. It's also a way for me to catch up on your other historical videos. Lol. Best of luck brother. 👍

0:35 *You know, in Greek, that would be "ora ora ora ora."*

[soroushtorabi]

The character design of nations is by far the best among history channels

[jesuscastillo]

I love how Athens is a major nerdy guy

[pitioti]

0:36: Why are they talking Jotaro ?! :'D ("P" in greek alphabet is "R" sound)

I love your historical video where you explain stuff !

[Falcon-vhnv]

It has been worth the wait 😆😁. Another AMAZING video 😍👏🙌
Historical facts and outstanding illustration just keeps getting better and better 🙏

It is also interesting to note that before the revolt, Athens actually went to Persia to ask for help during one of their conflicts with Sparta. So them aiding the revolt might have been seen as a betrayal from the Persian perspective.

Greece and Persia are Love, Greece and Persia are Life

[Bizanio]

Sparta being a hot badass Amazon, makes a lot of sense, especially since spartans had the most independent women

[superjesse]

I will always be happy when you post a video.

[Blazdragon]

Yay My boy Lydia has an appearance! Achaemenid empire is my favorite

[UntoldHistoryAnimations]

0:02 I have a feeling Yuric has a preference for a certain city state...

[fabiocosta]

Bro, pls, don't forget about the Iberian Península again. I love when you talk and animate about my little country and the siamese brothers that make spain.

[Blazdragon]

Yay! The fanart I got made an appearance! It’s Austria with two beers!
