How was Sparta finally able to defeat Athens in the Peloponnesian War?
Persia gave the Peloponnesian League led by Sparta the money to build a fleet of warships equal to Athens', and to pay the crews at double the Athenian rate to attract the best sailors. At the confrontation of the two fleets at Aigospotomai, Spartan commander Lysander waited until the Athenian ships crews were on shore buying their food from the local market and swooped on them, taking most on the beach before they could get to sea to fight. With its fleet gone, Athens was besieged with no means of importing food, and eventually had to surrender.
How powerful was Sparta during the roman empire?
By the time of the Roman Empire, Sparta had significantly declined in power and influence. Sparta's glory days as a dominant military and political force had passed several centuries before. Despite occasional conflicts and alliances with Rome, Sparta's significance had faded, and it was no longer a major player on the geopolitical stage.
Why were many of the Greek poli (city-states) unhappy with Athens in the years before the Peloponnesian War?
After the Persian invasion of Greece was turned back in 479 BCE under the leadership of Sparta, Athens took over leadership of the city-states in Asia Minor which had been liberated from Persian rule and formed them into the Delian League as a defensive alliance. After 30 years of failed attempts to reclaim the cities, Persia gave up and left the League to its own devices. Even with the threat gone, Athens continued to collect the annual tax which funded the League, by force where necessary, and spent the money on itself and on maintaining the navy which enforced the tax. Athenian inscriptions show heavy casualties of its army each year, including years in which Athens was not fighting any war with its neighbours or Persia, so these arose from its annual tax enforcement. This enforcement went as far as assaulting, capturing and looting recalcitrant cities of the League, which Athens had converted to an empire. One city Mytilene had its people sold into slavery as an example to the others; the citizens of Samos were branded in the forehead to remind them not to revolt again. The proceeds - originally to pay for the navy which protected them from Persia - were spent by Athens on beautifying its city (Parthenon etc) and putting half of Athens' citizens on its public payroll. And not satisfied with this empire, Athens started standing over cities of the Peloponnesian League led by Sparta, culminating with trying to bankrupt Megara, a member of that league. At the behest of the League, Sparta demanded that Athens back off, it refused, and all out war ensued.

How did the Greeks become a powerful empire?
This is not an easy question to answer simply. First you must understand that ancient Greece was never a united empire like Egypt or rome. Each Greek city was independent of all others. the exceptions to this were the delian league which was really more of an Athenian empire because Athens had the largest navy at the time, after the Persian wars.Delian....Empire?After Xerxes I's invasion of Greece in 480BC, a collection of city states grouped together as a way of getting their own back and protecting themselves from the Persian threat. Athens, at the Head of the Delian League was in a position of Authority over the others. She contributed the most ships, and organised the treasury. All nice and happy. But not for long. Once the Persian threat had long since gone, a few states decided they no longer wanted to pay the tribute to keep the league running and tried to leave. Athens was having none of this. Athens quickly began to intimidate the other states with her vast navy. This happened until the League treasury, on the island of Delos, was moved. To Athens. From this point on, the pact of city states began to look very much like an Athenian empire. Sparta, at the head of it's own league, the Hellenic League, was having none of this. The Pelopponesian War broke out, Athens began by winning, but after the death of Pericles in an outbreak of measles, Athens hadn't a hope. Sparta ended their empire.
