The Persian invasion of Greece was dependent on a dual effort of sea and land forces. After the defeat of the Persian fleet at Salamis in 480 BCE, the Greek cities were able to send out their armies from defending their cities from amphibious invasion, and assemble at Plataea to defeat the Persian army. Their victory there ended the Persian attempt to impose peace on the ever-warring Greek city-states, and they were able to go back to their usual occupation of fighting each other.
