Sparta fought in the Peloponnesian War primarily to counter the growing power and influence of Athens, which threatened its dominance in the Greek world. The war was fueled by a rivalry between the two city-states, with Sparta leading the Peloponnesian League and Athens at the helm of the Delian League. Additionally, Sparta sought to protect its allies and maintain the balance of power in Greece. Ultimately, the conflict was about control, security, and the differing political systems of oligarchy versus democracy.
