Best Answer

Athens converted the power and finances of the ant-Persian league to its own benefit and intervention in the affairs of the Greek cities. The vulnerable city-states joined a league with Sparta to oppose this. Athens' continuing aggressiveness brought Sparta's league to a final showdown over Megara, and when Athens would not back down, war was declared.

Neither side foresay 27 years of destructiveness throught the whole Greek world, from Sicily to Asia Minor.
