They were two different wars - the Persian War wass the persian Empire versus the mainland Greek cities, and the Peloponnesian War was between Greek cities. The Greeks won some, lost some in both wars.
How did Salamis war lead to the Plataea war?
These were not wars - they were two battles in the Persian invasion of Greece 480-479 BCE. The Persian plan was to threaten the Greek cities with amphibious invasion so that they would have to keep their armies at home to protect their own cities. This would enable the Persian army to pick off the cities one by one. Some of the Greek city-states sided with Persia. The southern ones formed an alliance to resist. Their plan was to defeat the Persian navy first so that the sea threat to their cities was ended and they could then send out their armies to combine against the Persian army. Their combined navy could also cut the Persian supply fleet from Asia on which the Persian army depended. The Greek plan began with holding the pass at Thermopylae to force the Persian navy to try to turn the position by sea to let the Persian army advance into southern Greece. The Greek fleet was stationed nearby at the Artemesion strait, waiting to pounce. Unfortunately for the Greek coalition they lost this sea battle of Artemesion and had to withdraw south to try Plan B which was to defeat the Persian fleet at Salamis. The force at Thermopylae, having no further use, was withdrawn, covered by the Spartan and Thespian contingents who sacrificed themselves to let the others get away. The Greek fleet engaged the Persian fleet again in the strait at Salamis and won this time. With the coming winter the Persian army had to withdraw to northern Greece to find sustenance for its soldiers and horses. As well, the remnant of its fleet had to withdraw back to safety in Asia Minor, and with the supply fleet unable to operate without its protection, half the Persian army had to return to Asia. In the spring of the next year (479 BCE) the Greek cities, no longer threatened by the Persian navy, were able to send out their armies to combine to defeat the half-strength Persian army and its Greek allies at Plataea, winning a victory which ended the invasion. The Greek fleet simultaneously captured the rump of the Persian navy at Mycale in Asia Minor.
What was one reason that Persia attacked Greece?
The Athenians, at the time, had a democratic government, meaning that they were governed by the vote of the people. In 499 BC, the Ionian Revolt began, wherein several cities in the Persian Empire rebelled against Persian rule to become democratic. The Athenians, being democratic themselves, supported the rebels. Ultimately, Persian won and retained control of the rebel territory, but they then attacked Greece because the Greeks had supported the rebellion against them.
What was the name of the sea battle that helped turn back the Persian invasion of Greece?
Salamis There were two sea battles in 480 BCE - Artemesium opposite Thermopylai (the pass was held to force the sea battle in the hope of breaking Persian sea superiority). This battle was indecisive, and the Greek fleet retired to the island of Salamis and a decisive battle in the strait between the island and Athens achieved success, denying Xerxes of his essential sea resupply, and his ability to threaten the cities of southern Greece. There were two land battles the following year 479 BCE - Plataia where the Greeks defeated the Persians and the Greeks who sided with them, and Mykale in Asia Minor - the latter was intended to be a naval battle against the residue of the Persian fleet, but the Persians refused engagement, drawing their ships up on the beach and fortifying them. The Greek sailors and soldiers disembarked and attacked in a land battle which they won, and burned the fleet.
