How did the battle of thermopylae help Athens even though though greeks lost?
It did not. Athens was occupied by the Persians, its people evacuated and given refuge in southern Greek cities and its forces were embarked on its fleet to help defeat the Persians at sea.
Why was it so difficult for Athens and Sparta to defeat each othere?
Each had allies which augmented its power. Athens had an empire of about 180 city-states spread around the eastern Aegean Sea,. It had strong walls, which extended down to the sea, which enabled it to be resupplied during a siege. It also had a superior navy, which gave it the ability to threaten and raid opposing cities of the Peloponnesian League led by Sparta, and to ensure resupply of the city by sea from its empire. The Peloponnesian League had the strongest land forces, and was able to besiege Athens. By whittling don Athens' allies, it progressively reduced Athens' power and resupply, until finally after 27 years of fighting, the Athenian fleet was destroyed (Persia gave money to pay for a Peloponnesian fleet) and Athens was starved into submission.
What are some events that happen during the peloponnesian war?
Athens resisted seige by the superior Peloponnesian land forces as its walls down to its harbour enabled it to import food. From the walled harbour it invaded Peloponnesian cities with its superior navy, according to plan. Athens lost a third of its manpower unexpectedly when a plague struck the overcrowded city. Pericles' steady guidance was lost when he became one of the victims. Athens captured a Spartan contingent and a truce was declared. Athens lost the plot by trying to capture Syracuse in Sicily, which had nothing to do with successful prosecution of the war. Its expeditionary force was totally lost, further weakening its manpower. Persia provided funds for the Peloponnesian League to produce a fleet to match Athens'. They doubled the pay of the fleet, which attracted the best rowers away from Athenian service. The Peloponnesian fleet defeated the Athenian fleet at Aigospotomai, and then invested Athens. They added to the pressure by sending all Athenian prisoners home to eat out the food supply the sooner. Athens was starved into surrender. Athens was stripped of its empire.
