How many years did the Spartans rule Greece?

Answer 1

The Spartans did not rule all of Greece for a specific number of years, but they were a dominant military power, particularly during the Peloponnesian War (431-404 BCE). After their victory over Athens, Sparta exerted considerable influence over Greece for a few decades. However, their dominance was challenged and eventually ended by Thebes in the Battle of Leuctra in 371 BCE. Thus, while they had significant power, their rule was not continuous or absolute across all of Greece.
