The powerful Persian Empire told the people of Athens, called the Athenians, to remove their general, Chabrias.
Chabrias had been in Egypt, helping the Egyptian kings, known as Pharaohs, stay independent from the Persian Empire. Persia wanted to control Egypt, so they didn't like Chabrias helping the Egyptians.
