What protective group formed by Greeks city states?

ANSWER There had been three major leagues formed by Greeks city states: The Peloponnesian League under Sparta's hegemony, formed about the mid of the VI century BC to contrast the Athens's power. The first Delian-Attica league under Athens's hegemony, formed in 478-477 BC during the last phase of the Persian Wars. The second Delian-Attica League under Athens's hegemony, formed in 377 BC in opposition to the military alliance between Sparta and the Persian Empire.


Why did Sparta not join the Delian ague?

After Sparta successfully led the repulse of the Persian invasion, it proposed that the Greek cities inside the Persian Empire be evacuated to mainland Greece to end the conflict. Opportunistic Athens countered by forming a league of these cities to continue war. Sparta, facing a serf revolt at home left them to it.


Why should Athens go to war with Spartans EXPLAIN PLEASEEE?

After the Persian War, Athens converted the anti-Persian Delian League which it led into an empire of its own. Using this power, it became aggressive against some of the other independent city-states, culminating in its attempt to bankrupt its neighbour Megara, a member of the Peloponnesian League led by Sparta. Sparta appealed to Athens to back off, Athens refused and war ensued.


Why did Sparta initiate the series of conflict known as the Polynesian war?

Sparta did not initiate the Peloponnesian War; it was primarily a response to the growing power and influence of Athens, particularly after the formation of the Delian League and its aggressive expansion. Tensions escalated due to Athenian imperialism and conflicts over trade and alliances, leading Sparta and its allies to declare war in 431 BCE. The struggle was fundamentally about power dynamics in ancient Greece, with Sparta aiming to curb Athenian dominance. Ultimately, the war evolved into a protracted conflict between two major city-states and their respective allies.


Why did Athens and Sparta go to war?

Peloponnesian War"The Spartans voted that the treaty had been broken, and that war must be declared, not so much because they were persuaded by the arguments of the allies, as because they feared the growth of the power of the Athenians, seeing most of Hellas already subject to them" Book One, Chapter 88 Landmark Thucydides .Sparta was afraid of the growing power of their rival city-state, Athens
