king xerxes i
the second persian invasion of greece (480–479 bc) occurred during the greco-persian wars, as king xerxes i of persia sought to conquer all of greece. the invasion was a direct, if delayed, response to the defeat of the first persian invasion of greece (492–490 bc) at the battle of marathon, which ended darius i's attempts to subjugate greece. after darius's death, his son xerxes spent several years planning for the second invasion, mustering an enormous army and navy. the athenians and spartans led the greek resistance. about a tenth of the greek city-states joined the 'allied' effort; most remained neutral or submitted to xerxes.

after the failed peace negotiations of the inter-war years, hideyoshi launched the second invasion of korea. one of the main strategic differences between the first and second invasions was that conquering china was no longer an explicit goal for the japanese. failing to gain a foothold during katō kiyomasa's chinese campaign and the near complete withdrawal of the japanese forces during the first invasion had established that the korean peninsula was the more prudent and realistic objective.
