What was one of the results for the Athens being defeated in the Peloponnesian war in 404 BC?

Answer 1

Athens was stripped of its empire and became a second rate power.

Sparta became temporarily dominant until defeated and displaced by Thebes.

Fighting between Greek city-states continued on.

Persia reasserted control of the Greek cities of Asia Minor.

The weakened Greek city-states were unable to resist the rise of Macedonia.

Answer 2

They weren't defeated; at first they were, but before the war truly ended, Athens rebelled and took back their city, but after all the fighting, neither city was able to regain their wealth and Greece would never be as great as it once was. Historians refer to this as the "suicide of Greece."

Another View:

Athens surrendered unconditionally to the Peloponnesian League forces besieging it.

It was stripped of its empire and had to live on its own limited resources, which put an end to the lavish expenditure on the city and inhabitants, and dominance of its fleet, all previously subsidised by the 180 cities of its empire. It became a second-rate power thereafter, able to intervene only in concert with other cities rather than dragging other cities along with it into its adventurous interference in the affairs of other cities.

Answer 3

One result was Sparta becoming the predominant power in the region for the next three decades.

Another was that Athens lost its empire which had paid for the Athenian fleet which had sustained its preeminence.

Answer 4

Athens lost its empire.

It became a second rate power in the Greek world.

Sparta gained temporary ascendance in the Greek world but its lmanpower losses made it vulnerable and it lost to Thebes.

Greece was so weakened by the endless wars that Macedonia was able to gain ascendancy.
