Best Answer

Sparta was the leader of a confederation mainly in southern Greece (now called the Peloponnesian League) set up to oppose the empire set up by Athens, to protect its member cities from encroachments by Athens. When Athens continued to intervene in these cities affairs, finally over Megara they demanded Athens cease, and as it refused, war broke out.
