Detailed explanation-1: -As a Spartan ally, Corinth resumed hostilities toward Athens when Athens threatened Corinth’s interests in the region surrounding Corcyra. This eventually drew Sparta into the conflict. The Spartan army began by raiding lands within an Athenian allied territory, particularly a region near Athens called Attica.
Detailed explanation-2: -The Spartans were able to siege Athens and its allies, effectively cutting the city-state off from food and resources. Sparta was able to defeat Athens in naval battle in 405 BCE, effectively destroying Athens’ once strong naval power.
Detailed explanation-3: -With battles at home and abroad, the long and complex conflict was damaging to both sides. Sparta, with financial help from Persia, finally won the conflict by destroying the Athenian fleet at Aegospotami in 405 BCE.
