A contest between the Athenian empire and the Peloponnesian League led by Sparta, with Athenian expansionism facing Peloponnesian determination to give no further ground to it.
The Peloponnesian War was caused by Athens slowly creating an empire under Pericles, an Athenian general. Sparta did not want only one city-state to be able to control all of Greece, so they decided to attack Athens, causing the Peloponnesian War.
Athens imposed a trading ban on Megara, a member of the Peloponnesian League, designed to ruin it. Megara had the League demand its raising, and when Athens refused war broke out.
