The Peloponnesian War was a series of conflicts between the Athens and the Delian League and Sparta and the Peloponnesian League. The basic cause the was expansion of the influence of Athens into Lacodaemon, the territory Sparta controlled. The war ended in 404 B.C. with the surrender of Athens to Sparta. Corinth and Thebes wished for Athens to be destroyed and its people enslaved, but Sparta refused, citing that it would not destroy and city that had done good service at the time of greatest danger for Greece (citing the Greco-Persian wars).
