Interwar Period:
Persian
Preparation &
Developments
FQ: Outline the events

and preparations that
occurred in Persia for
war against the Greeks
between 490 & 480
BC.
Activity 18: Persian Developments
King Darius started preparing for war after the

defeat at Marathon, however he died in 485 BC so
did not get to see the war.
Xerxes could not plan for the attack on Greece

until he resolved rebellions occurring in his empire.
Xerxes prepared for a large land and naval force

that took several years to organize along with
supplies.
Xerxes used engineering strategies to minimize

time and resources to get to Greece.
Xerxes sent diplomatic embassies to all the Greek

states asking for their submission with the offering
of earth and water.
Studying for the HSC

requires creating study
notes that work for you but
require less time to revise.
One of the best techniques
is writing key points and
then providing 1-2
examples you could use in
an essay or short answer
question and a source you
can use. In the HSC your
chosen sources are more
likely to be written
sources, as they are easier
to reference.
Being able to cite a source
will provide a higher
quality argument. The
activities in this section will
help you practice these
skills and prepare your
own revision.
Activities:
