Athens was able to build an empire based on nearly two hundred Greek city-states which allied together against Persia under its leadership. It became rich and expansionary on the proceeds, which brought about an opposing Peloponnesian League led by Sparta. The two leagues clashed in a devastating 27-year war after a peace was made with Persia, allowing inter-Greek rivalries to again come to the fore.
