Persia got back at Athens by giving the Peloponnesian League led by Sparta the money to buy and pay for the running of a war fleet comparable to that of the Athenians. The money allowed the Spartans to offer double pay to the crewmen, and so attract the best seamen.

∙ 12y agoAthens and the allies Chios, Samos and Lesbos had a fleet which the Spartan league could neither afford nor match. When the superior land forces of the Spartan league invaded Athenian territory, the Athenians stayed behind their walls which protected the city and port, and could receive food from its fleet, and use the fleet to threaten the opposing cities.
In 406 BCE, the 25th year of the war, the Persians provided virtually unlimited funds to the Spartan alliance, enabling it to match the Athenian fleet. Lysander led this fleet against the Athenian one in the Dardenelles where it was protecting the grain supply to the city from the Black Sea. By a ruse he caught the Athenian fleet on the beach and destroyed it. He then invested Athens, which could no longer supply itself without its fleet, and it surrendered.

Having bottled up Athens by siege of the city, they were thus enabled to defeat its fleet and starve the city, without its sea supply line, into submission. They also sent the Athenian garrisons of its empire home to accelerate the starvation.

Why did Sparta fall?
"Sparta broke with a sharp snap because it could not bend. The Spartans failed to rebound after Leuctra because they could not find a way to deviate from entrenched habits of rigid hierarchy, state terrorism, and social conformity. Leuctra was Sparta's fate because those habits led the Spartans to surround themselves by enemies abroad, while simultaneously feeding the angry hunger of those restive internal subjects who would happily have eaten the few remaining Similars raw.""revolutionary plot by a group of Inferiors, led by one Cinadon. The hatred of Cinadon and his fellows for the Spartan system was summed up in their expressed willingness to 'devour the Similars raw.' Like the boy and the fox, Spartan society was, almost literally, being consumed from the inside."Josiah Ober and originally published in the Summer 1998 edition of MHQ. Journal of Military History.Sparta fell because it could not maintain (replace) an adequate number of its warrior elite similars. They relied heavily on helots to make up the numbers and these helots went from slaves to free men mercenaries.Sparta made too many enemies with all around them and had internal bickering with non elites.Spartas enemies learnt their tactics and how to beat them over decades.Militarily the tactic sending too few men makes victory impossible and death inevitable, even if its heroic.Sparta did not have an adequate economic income,ALL ANSWERS ARE SOMEWHAT TRUE AND AT THE SAME TIME FALSE>THE REASON WAS TIME AND CHANGE. Sparta did not fall when it was in it's peak,but long after,when there were only crumbles of earlier glory.So it has nothing to do with flexibility but simply TIME.

What were some of the causes and effects of the peloponnesian war?
After the defeat of the Persian invasion in 480-479 BCE, Sparta wanted to repatriate all Greeks in Asia to mainland Greece to end the problem with Persia (this actually happened in 1923 CE, after World War 1 - foresight indeed!). Athens proposed an aggressive alliance against Persia, which as the dominant maritime power it had to lead.Sparta had no interest in overseas adventurism, and readily ceded that leadership to Athens, which apportioned contributions to the alliance cities. Some met this in ships, most paid their way out of this, though some reneged and Athens collected the contributions by force. With only the islands Samos, Lesbos and Chios contributing ships, Athens had an overwhelming superiority in amphibious power, and the money to pay for it. This anti-Persian league then progressively became effectively an Empire of Athens.A definite transition took place when the league defeated Persia in two sea and land battle at the Eurymedon River and Cyprus, resulting in a peace of 449 BCE which restricted Persian vessels from moving into Greek-controlled waters or interfering in Greek cities; the real reason for the league ceased to exist. For 'security' the treasury was moved from neutral Delos to Athens, and under Pericles' guiding hand this was squandered on beautification of Athens, keeping half of its citizens in public employment, and 100 ships in service enforcing collection of league (empire) membership dues. In addition Athens went to lengths to establish sympathetic radical democracies in league cities. As a side ethnic issue, the core of the Spartan alliance (Peloponnesian League) were Dorian Greeks of the Peloponnese peninsula; the Athenian empire comprised mainly the Ionian Greeks of Asia Minor and the Islands.This polarisation of the reclusive Spartans and the adventurous Athenians spilt over when their respective allies clashed with each other - notably the Corcyra and Potidaia disputes with Corinth, and then Athens' trading ban on the Peloponnesian city of Megara. The series of clashes put allied pressure on Sparta to act, and after much foot dragging and with much trepidation it issued an ultimatum to Athens, which rejected it.Athens was confident that the combination of its walls and amphibious power was more than a match for the largely land-bound Spartan alliance, and it rejected negotiation, preferring to maintain its naval dominance, and challenge Spartan league land dominance.Neither side foresaw 27 years of warfare which devastated so much of the Greek world from Sicily to Asia, and coincidentally led to Persian influence in Greek affairs, and eventually Macedonian dominance.Why did the Peloponnesians what? Ask a sensible question.why did the pelopinnesain war start?the Athens were trying to take over all of Greece and Spartans didnt let them.
