plague
Cooperation between Sparta and Athens during the classical Greek era created peace and prosperity in Greece while conflict between Sparta and Athens broke ancient Greece and began the downfall of the society. These events defined the course of ancient Greek history.
A plague broke out in Athens in 430b.c. , and killed about one third of the population.
A lot!! For example they won the war over persia even though they were outnumbered and Persia was a superpower! That broke Persias Power over ancient Greece........
No, they defeated the Greek fleet in the nearby strait of Artemesion and broke through the Greek blocking force at Thermopylae, capturing northern Greece and going on to take Athens.
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.
Greece did not exist as a country in Ancient World. There were numerous Greek-city states including Athens, Sparta, Argos, Corinth just to name a few. The main reason a war broke out between Athens, its allies and the Peloponnesian league, was due to many reasons, such as Sparta's need to train in real war situations (Sparta didn't wage war very often) and battles for territory.
I think it broke down in 341B.C.E.
Athens used the power of its empire to intervene in the affairs of the southern Greek cities in the Peloponnesian Peninsula and their colonies. These incursions were principally in Corcyra and Potidaea and finally its trade rival Megara which Athens set out to bankrupt. The Peloponnesian League, led by Sparta, of which Megara was a member, demanded that Athens cease this; Athens refused and war broke out.
i dont know
During the Dark Age in Ancient Greece, the Mycenaean civilization began to decline, wars broke out between city-states, and there were earthquakes all over Greece.
Peleponnesian War was a 27 year war ending with Sparta victor over Athens. War broke out when Athens sought to expand and allied with Corcyra that was a colony of Corinth. Sparta and Corinth were already allies and Sparta saw this as a military aggression. Athens at the time was lead by Pericles who refused to withdraw. Tension was high and war finally broke out when Thebes, ally of Sparta, attacked Plataea which sided with Athens.
