What led to the downfall of athenian empire?
Athens over-reached itself in interfering in the affairs of the other Greek city-states, overconfident that its power, war fleet and financial resources could protect it. The Peloponnesian League led by Sparta called its bluff, and Athens lost a destructive 27-year war and was stripped of its empire, becoming thereafter a second rate power. The turning point in the war was the intervention of Persia, which still had payback to make over its defeat by the Athenian-led Delian League. It provided the Peloponnesian League with the money to build a navy to match the hitherto-unbeatable Athenian navy, and also to pay more than Athens to attract the best warship rowers from Athenian service into the Peloponnesian fleet.

Did Sparta believe in a strong navy?
When Athens used its navy to good effect during the 27-year Peloponnesian War, Sparta realised that it had to get the Peloponnesian league an equally strong nave to succeed. They took money from Persia to build a fleet which finally destroyed the Athenian navy and led to Athens' surrender.
