Were you talking about the Greek Persian and Peloponnesian Wars? If so, the Persian war was between the invading Persians and the defending Greeks, who formed a league in which the military was led by one of the Spartan kings. (Sparta had two kings at the same time.) In the Peloponnesian War, it was the Delian League (Athens and allies) vs. the Peloponnesian League (Sparta and allies) Sparta ended up beating Athens after destroying their fleet.
For the Greeks, the Persian War was warding off Persian dominance. The Peloponnesian War was a protracted fight to terminate the Athenian Empire's attempt to dominate the other Greek city-states.
Punic Wars established Rome as unchallenged in the Western Mediterranean, and their decision to punish Macedonia for supporting Carthage led them to progressively take over the eastern Mediterranean as well. The Persian, Peloponnesian Wars and Crusades did not involve Rome.
