The Peloponnesian War was between Athens and its allies and Sparta and its allies, with Persia supporting Sparta financially later in the war, which lasted for 27 years from 431 to 404 BCE, devastating the Greek world from Sicily to Asia Minor in the process.

In 404 BCE the Spartan fleet destroyed the Athenian one at Aigospotomai (Goat Rivers) in the Dardanelles, killing off Athens' last hope. After that Athens was invested, and after a seige surrendered.

The real outcome was that Greece was left weakened and divided, allowing Persia to establish influence over Greece which it had failed after its military defeats earlier in the century.
