The city states of Athens and Sparta and their allies fought each other in the Peloponnesian War .
Athens and Sparta distrusted each other primarily due to their contrasting political systems and cultural values. Athens was a democracy that valued individual freedom and cultural achievements, while Sparta was a militaristic oligarchy focused on discipline and collective strength. Their rivalry intensified during the Peloponnesian War, where each sought to expand its influence and protect its way of life, leading to deep-seated animosity and suspicion. Additionally, differing alliances and military strategies further fueled their mutual distrust.
They formed an alliance because they wanted to rebel against the Persians. Athens had all the brains and Sparta had all the war like abilities. Athens needed someone that was good in war. Even though Athens had a strong army it was still too small to over ride the Persian Empire. The Persians were a common enemy for Athens and Sparta. They both had something in common; liking the Persians. So the more people Athens had in their army the more likely it is for Athens to win. In the end Athens does win the war against the Persians but there are many more wars the Athenians and the Persians have had against each other.
