Best Answer

It was a war between Athens and its allies and Sparta and its allies - the latter tried to control the expansionary efforts of the Athenian empire. It lasted from 431 BCE to 404 BCE, when Persian financial intervention swung the war in favour of the Spartan alliance, resulting in the capture of Athens.

The war was about Athens and Sparta fighting because Athens made other city-states join an alliance.
