Why did Spata and Athens have war?

Sparta did not initiate the Persian Wars. Sparta was very conservative about wars, relying on its reputation to avoid wars. It had problems in keeping down a restive serf population and didn't need extra problems if they could be avoided. The Persian Wars began when the Greek cities of Asia Minor revolted against Persian rulership. Athens and Eretria intervened, and after the rebellion was put down, Persia turned on Eretria and Athens in mainland Greece, for helping the rebellious cities. This attempt failed at the Battle of Marathon and Persia decided that the only way to keep the peace was to bring all the Greek cities into its empire, where it could control them. Persia bribed some of these cities into compliance, then invaded to subject the rest. A consortium of Greek city-states combined to oppose this invasion, including Sparta and Athens.

What cause the people of Athens to join forces with their rival city-statesparatain 480 bc?

Sparta and Athens were not rivals in 480 BCE - that came more than 30 years afterwards when the threat of Persia subsided. Sparta had promised to help them against the Persian attack on Athens in 490 BCE, but its army had arrived on the battlefield at Marathon too late. They remained on good terms and were natural allies in the Persian invasion in 480-479 BCE, providing the two largest contingents to the southern Greek coalition, led by Sparta, which repelled the invasion. Even if Athens had not been friendly with Sparta, it had no choice because it was a prime target of the Persian invasion and needed all the help it could get. It was not a case of Athens joining force with Sparta, it was Athens seeking the help of Sparta and its allies. They remained close allies for another 20 years, Athens helping Sparta put down a rebellion in its territory. They fell out when Athens started interfering in the affairs of the Peloponnesian League cities (which Sparta led) and Athens ignored Sparta's appeal to back off, leading to an all-out war.

When Athens established an empire over its allies in the wake of the Persian War, it had the money it extracted from then to spend on itself, and was able to use this on its own benefits and culture, and so was able to establish a strong cultural life. Sparta lived of its land, and could not.

What Greek city-state was most militaristic?

It varied over time - early it was Sparta until it consolidated its territory. Then Athens tried to establish and empire after the Persian invasion but was put down by the Peloponnesian League led by Sparta. With Sparta debilitated by wars, Thebes took over until the Macedonian empire took control. ________________________ Sparta and Macedonia were the only two Greek states that could really be called militaristic. Unlike Athens which became a large power by way of trade and naval supremacy, Sparta rose through its military might and bravery and Macedonia through its military innovation and techniques. It was said that while Athens was centred around great buildings, Sparta was built by courageous men who "served their city in the place of walls of bricks." Thebes, Corinth and Argos could be classified as militaristic to a much lesser degree.
