Best Answer

The Spartans were not destroyed by anyone in particular. Their big problem was that, as a city-state based on an exclusive minority which was peridoically engaged in warfare, that warrior mnority was a shrinking asset. Whenever they suffered a serious defeat, the downward move in population was accelerated. Their loss to the Theban alliance in the early 4th Century BCE was a critical point from which they never fully recovered. Although they made an attempt at recovery in the late 3rd Century, it was temporary, and Sparta ceased to be a power in the Hellenic world. Thereafter they faded out, being recognised for their past achievements, but counting for nothing in Hellenistic affairs.

"Halo Reference" Well, most of the U.N.S.C. Spartans were killed in the battle to save Reach from being destroyed (even thought they were unsuccessful) by the Covenant. Not many Spartans survived the genetic augmentation during their training any way. During the SPARTAN II project, out of the 60 Spartans (30 Male/30 Female), only 32 survived the augmentation, John-117 (Master Chief) being one of the survivors.
