What are the 3 phases of the pelopinesian war?

The Peloponnesian War, fought between Athens and Sparta from 431 to 404 BCE, is generally divided into three phases: the Archidamian War (431-421 BCE), characterized by annual invasions of Attica by Sparta and Athenian naval raids; the Peace of Nicias (421-413 BCE), a fragile truce that ultimately failed; and the Ionian or Decelean War (413-404 BCE), marked by increased Persian support for Sparta and the eventual downfall of Athens. Each phase saw shifts in strategy and alliances, ultimately leading to Sparta's victory and the end of Athenian dominance.


What time period was the lost city of Atlantis in?

Atlantis was a naval power lying "in front of the Pillars of Hercules" that conquered many parts of Western Europe and Africa 9,000 years before the time of Solon, or approximately 9600 BC. After a failed attempt to invade Athens, Atlantis sank into the ocean "in a single day and night of misfortune".Scholars dispute whether and how much Plato's story or account was inspired by older traditions. Some scholars argue Plato drew upon memories of past events such as the Thera eruption or the Trojan War, while others insist that he took inspiration from contemporary events like the destruction of Helike in 373 BC[1] or the failed Athenian invasion of Sicily in 415-413 BC.--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------Many people believe that the historical basis for the Atlantis myth was the Minoan civilization on the island of Thera in the Mediterranean (now called Santorini).The Minoan eruption is a key marker for the Bronze Age chronology of the Eastern Mediterranean world.The Island exploded in a huge volcanic eruption that destroyed the Minoan civilization across the whole Mediterranean somewhere between 1627 BCE and 1600 BCE.


What caused Athens to surrender in the pelopponesian war?

Athens surrendered in the Peloponnesian War primarily due to a combination of military defeats, resource depletion, and the devastating effects of the plague that struck the city. The loss at the Sicilian Expedition in 413 BCE severely weakened Athenian naval power and morale. Additionally, the growing strength of Sparta, bolstered by Persian support, further eroded Athenian dominance. By 404 BCE, facing starvation and internal strife, Athens ultimately capitulated, marking the end of the war.
