Sparta had a limited warrior population, and it faced the ongoing implaccable hostility of Argos, and sporadically clashed with Mantinea and other cities in the Peloponnese. There was also the continual risk of revolt by its serfs who outnumbered its citizens by 7 to 1. It therefore needed alliances to neutralise potential adversaries and gain support from others better disposed to Sparta. This need grew when it suffered losses in wars and its military capability shrank, and it was variously opposed by Athens, Thebes and Macedonia.
