Question

the battle of plataea was important because it...
was the final major land battle where greeks defeated persia

Explanation:

• Analyze each option:
• The Battle of Plataea was the final major land battle of the Greco - Persian Wars, in which the Greeks defeated the Persians.
• The Persian Wars were started by the Ionian Revolt and the subsequent Persian response, not the Battle of Plataea.
• The Peloponnesian War was a conflict between Greek city - states (Athens and Sparta and their allies), and the Battle of Plataea had nothing to do with ending it.
• Triremes were warships, and the Battle of Plataea was a land battle, so it was not won by triremes.
