Because it one side was based in the Peloponnesian Peninsula, home of the Dorian Greeks led by Sparta.- the other side was the empire established by Athens. The fighting was initially around the Peloponnese Peninsula, but it spread throughout the Greek world east to Asia Minor and west to Sicily as the war continued over its 27-year course.
