Greece did not exist as a country in Ancient World. There were numerous Greek-city states including Athens, Sparta, Argos, Corinth just to name a few.

The main reason a war broke out between Athens, its allies and the Peloponnesian league, was due to many reasons, such as Sparta's need to train in real war situations (Sparta didn't wage war very often) and battles for territory.
