Battle of Salamis. Naval battle in 480 BC. Greeks destroyed Persian naval force, prevented Persian king Xerxes from conquering Greece. One Persian army remained in Greece and was destroyed the following year, and the Greeks were able to start re-taking their territory. As the roots of Western civilization came from the Greeks, a different outcome at Salamis would have changed Western history.
