The Spartan alliance defeated the Athenian alliance in 404 BCE after the Athenian fleet was destroyed at Aigospotamai. Subsequently, Athens and Sparta fought as allies and opponents on several occasions. There was no final defeat. Each waned as a power after the mid 3rd Century BCE.
It provided the Spartan alliance with the money to get a sea fleet to match and defat Athens' hitherto superiority. With its fleet destroyed, Athens was confined within its walls, could not import food, and was starved into surrender.

during the greeco-persian war...
As Greeks, their cultures were very similar. Their alliance was for self interest - Sparta aided Athens, and Athens reciprocated.
It was based on 180 city-states in Asia Minor and the Islands which banded together against the Persian Empire under the leadership of Athens. When the Persian threat was resolved, opportunistic Athens converted it into an empire of its own.
Athens formed an anti-Persian alliance, the members of which (mainly in Aisa Minor and the Aegean islands) contributed to a fund to maintain a navy for the alliance. Athens, with a very superior navy, was able to enforce collection of this tribute, and effectively converted the alliance into an empire. So although the city-states were nominally independent, they paid tribute to Athens. Athens also encouraged those states to adopt a radical democratic form of government, which many did.
