The Four Hundred ruled in Athens for four months in the summer of 411 BC. It was replaced by a moderate oligarchy until democracy was restored in spring 410 BC. This and other interruptions of the democracy were necessitated by the people being led astray by populist leaders and led into risky ventures which eventually brought their defeat during the Peloponnesian War The oligarchies stabilised the situation until the democracy took over again, and led to the next crisis.
