The Battle of Salamis was brought on by the Greeks in order to end the Persian amphibious threat to the Greek city-states. This threat made the cities keep their armies at home in self defence. The defeat of the Persian navy at Salamis ended that threat, and the cities were then able to send out their armies to unite and defeat the Persian army at Plataea, ending the Persian invasion.
