Sparta, having established its dominance and security in the Peloponnese, and material security through its serf population, sought peacefulness. It supported Athens, after it had expelled its tyrant, against forcible attempts of its oligarchy to reestablish control. They joined together in repelling the Persian invasion, and Athens provided military support to Sparta in putting down its serf rebellion. Things went sour during this espedition and Sparta sent the Athenians home. Hostilities broke out as an over-confident Athens meddled in the affairs of Sparta and its allies in the peloponnese peninsula. fter 15 years they patched things up with a 30 year peace treaty. Howeve Athens continued to intervene in the problems i the Peloponnese, Sparta demanded that Athens back off, Athens persisted, and the devastating 27-year Peloponnesian War broke out, which Athens lost.
