How were the Peloponnesian Persian and Trojan Wars alike?
People died needlessly and places were devastated, pursuing the interests of specific aristocratic leaders. The Trojan War was in reality a looting expedition by the Achaeans (Greeks) who pillaged western Asia Minor and the Islands for a decade. The Achaean aristocracy got most of the loot and enslaved people and Asia Minor was devastated. The Persian War was an attempt by the Persian Empire to impose peace on the Eastern Mediterranean under it's overall control, but ended up as achieving nothing but 50 years of war, but also allowed Athens to make an empire of it's own by seizing control of the cities it had allied against the Persian Empire. The Peloponnesian War flowed from from Athens' grab for empire, as this success led it to try to dominate the other Greek cities outside its empire. When this was resisted by the Peloponnesian League, a 27 year-war followed which devastated the Greek world.
