Pericles didn't declare war. He persuaded the Athenian people to discontinue negotiations on the Spartan alliance's ultimatum on lifting Athens' trade ban on Megara, and so both sides moved into hostilities, initiated by a Spartan alliance invasion of Attica followed by Athenian amphibious raids. Some of the cities in the Athenian alliance (empire) defected progressively or tried to stay out of the war, but Athens continued to attempt to collect the tribute, by force if necessary as usual. After Athens' defeat by the Spartan alliance 27 years later it ceased to exist.
