The Peloponesian Wars were a series of three wars between the Delian League led by Athens and the Peloponesian League, led by Sparta. In the end, Sparta triumphed. Although many cities fought in the war, Athens and Sparta led the two sides. Hundreds of the Greek city-states were embroiled, whether they liked it or not, in the 27-year war. The war was between Sparta and its allies and Athens and its empire.
They led to the ascendancy of Sparta, displaced by Thebes, the dominance of Macedonian and its takeover of the Persian Empire.
