Purim, like Chanukah, is a celebration of an event in Jewish/Hebrew history. However, as one studies the timing of this historical event an amazing "connection" to Pesach comes to light!

Nisan, the month of the exodus from Egypt, GOD declares the beginning of the year.
Nisan 14 is preparation for Pesach.
Nisan 15 is Pesach itself.
Nisan 15 to the 21st is the feast of Unleavened Bread.

From 713-701 BC the Earth was affected by a close encounter with Mars. This affected all the calendars of the world, changing them from 12 lunar months of 30 days each totaling 360 days to a year of 365 days.

The events of Esther (Purim) took place around 465 BC which is after the Mars effect necessitated the addition of another month, Adar II. This extra month was inserted to get the lunar months back in sync with the harvest seasons.
