Answer 1

The unification of the Greeks in defense of their culture and way of life was primarily caused by **the threat of the Persian Empire conquering Greece**. The Persian invasions, particularly the battles of Marathon, Thermopylae, and Salamis, prompted the various city-states to set aside their differences and work together in order to repel the common enemy.
