The Persians did not have a war with Sparta. They invaded mainland Greece to put an end to their interference in supporting uprisings of Greek cities in Persian-ruled Asia. They were repelled by a coalition of city-states from southern Greece, of which Sparta was but one.

Who destroyed Sparta?

It was Destroyed by the Persians


Why did the very different cultures of Athens and Sparta from an alliance?

They formed an alliance because they wanted to rebel against the Persians. Athens had all the brains and Sparta had all the war like abilities. Athens needed someone that was good in war. Even though Athens had a strong army it was still too small to over ride the Persian Empire. The Persians were a common enemy for Athens and Sparta. They both had something in common; liking the Persians. So the more people Athens had in their army the more likely it is for Athens to win. In the end Athens does win the war against the Persians but there are many more wars the Athenians and the Persians have had against each other.

Why did the Athenians and the Spartans not get along after the Persians Wars?

Sparta's serf population revolted and Athens sent a force to help the Spartans put it down. Then the Athenian soldiers started to sympathise with the serfs , so the Spartans sent them home. Relations froze. When the Athenians made an empire out of the Delian League cities it had led against the persians, it became adventurous and interfered in the affairs of the cities of the Peloponnesian League which Sparta led. Sparta asked Athens to back off, an overconfident Athens persisted and war ensued.
