After 30 years they defeated a plague weakened Athens.
It was a war between city-states. Athens against Sparta. It weakened Greek civilization.
Athens was stripped of its empire and became a second rate power. Sparta became the leading city-state until overthrown by Thebes in ongoing warfare, The ongoing wars between coalitions of city-states so weakened them that Macedonia was able to gain control of the Greek world.
Several factors outside Athens contributed to Sparta's victory in the Peloponnesian War. Key among these was Sparta's alliance with Persia, which provided financial support to build a formidable navy that challenged Athenian dominance at sea. Additionally, the discontent among various city-states within the Athenian Empire, which led to revolts and defections to Sparta, further weakened Athenian resources and morale. Finally, Sparta's military discipline and effective leadership under commanders like Lysander played a crucial role in their strategic successes.
A large war happened: the Peloponessian Wars (431 to 404 BC). Athens and Sparta went to war then their allies joined in. After many long bloody years, Sparta finally won and there were years of peace. But Sparta was severely weakened. Then Athens revolted. There was no unity among the city-states and Sparta had lost much of its empire. In 338 BC, the Macedonians under Philip II and his son Alexander conquered Greece, and the subsequent empires were eventually subsumed by Rome between 149 and 146 BC.
False. After the Peloponnesian War, Sparta faced significant challenges in regaining its military strength. Although it initially emerged victorious and maintained a strong military presence, internal strife, economic difficulties, and the rise of rival powers ultimately weakened Spartan military dominance. By the time of the Battle of Leuctra in 371 BCE, Sparta's military supremacy was effectively shattered.
This is Sparta! = Dies ist Sparta!

One, without a common enemy, Athens and Sparta engaged in the Peloponnesian War for the hegemony of Greece. Two, it weakened Persia to the point that it made it easier for Alexander the Great to conquer decades later.
After the Persian invasion was repelled, Sparta left the ongoing wars and turned its attention to controlling revolts by its large serf population. It headed the Peloponnesian League which came into conflict with Athens after the Persian war was over and Athens turned the Delian League it had led into the war into an empire of its own. This conflict led to the Peloponnesian War in which Athens was defeated and Sparta became the dominant power in the Greek world for the next 30 years, when the constant wars amongst the Greek city-states so weakened Sparta that it was displaced by Thebes, and faded out of power.
