Sparta was the most powerful Polis in Greece because of the strength of it's land army. Athens' power however was rising quickly as they began to build an empire in the Aegean, with the wealth of this new empire Athens built a wall around their city; ancient Greek armies had few options for attacking walled cities and primarily needed to starve them out. This meant that Athens was now a serious rival to Sparta, the Spartans did not wish to let go of their power so demanded that Athens tear down their wall, they did not so Sparta went to war.
