Why did Athens fall to Sparta?
After the Persians failed to bring peace to the eastern Mediterranean in the Persian Wars, Persia withdrew to leave the Greek cities to get back to their usual fighting between each other. Athens then turned the anti-Persian league it led into an empire of its own, and over-reached itself, bringing on a war with the Peloponnesian League led by Sparta. This 27-year war severely damaged the city-states of Greece. In the process Sparta had to turn to Persia for support, and then defeated Athens, stripping it of its empire. The weakened cities continued fighting amongst each other in varying alliances, and Thebes replaced Sparta as the leading power. All this fighting paved the way for the dominance of Macedonia.
