Description
The Battle of Plataea was the final nail in the coffin for Xerxes's land invasion of Greece because of the city's advantageous location, backed up against a mountainside.
The location is important because the Persian Army pushed hard towards the city and was surrounded by troops and mountains, leaving them vulnerable and an easy target for the Greek soldiers.
