Detailed explanation-1: -The Peloponnesian War was a war fought in ancient Greece between Athens and Sparta-the two most powerful city-states in ancient Greece at the time (431 to 405 B.C.E.).
Detailed explanation-2: -Aftermath of the Persian Wars The violent actions of Spartan leader Pausanias at the siege of Byzantium, for instance, alienated many of the Greek states from Sparta, and led to a shift in the military command of the Delian League from Sparta to Athens.
Detailed explanation-3: -The First Peloponnesian War ended in an arrangement between Sparta and Athens, which was ratified by the Thirty Years’ Peace (winter of 446–445 BC). According to the provisions of this peace treaty, both sides maintained the main parts of their empires.
Detailed explanation-4: -The reasons for this war are sometimes traced back as far as the democratic reforms of Cleisthenes, which Sparta always opposed. However, the more immediate reason for the war was Athenian control of the Delian League, the vast naval alliance that allowed it to dominate the Mediterranean Sea.
