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.
