The Peloponnesian War was primarily caused by the power struggle between the Athenian Empire and the Peloponnesian League, led by Sparta. Tensions escalated due to Athens' aggressive expansion and its imperial policies, which threatened the autonomy of other Greek city-states. Additionally, economic rivalries, shifting alliances, and previous conflicts contributed to the hostilities that ultimately erupted into war in 431 BCE.
