Expansionary Athens intervened in disputes outside its territories and sphere - Potidaia and Corcyra, then banned Megara from trading in the Athenian empire.

Sparta, at the behest of the Peloponnesian League which it headed, demanded an end to the ruinous Megara ban, which was refused by an over-confident Athens and war ensued.
