Sparta dominated throughout the decade until it was defeated by Thebes in 371 BCE. After this Sparta's cumulative manpower losses over the previous generation relegated it to ineffectuality, and Thebes' Boeotian League gained ascendancy.

Sparta had attacked Thebes three times during the decade, ignoring it's own city's early law-giver Lycurgus' dictum of not fight the same enemy too often, as it taught them how to fight. On the fourth occasion, the Thebans led by Epaminondas had learnt too well and won.
