The Peloponnesian war happened between the Athens and the Spartans. It is believed that the war was launched because the Spartans were afraid of the Athenians. Also known as the Athenian Empire during that time, the Empire drove the Persians out of their land and their power was very strong. The Athens made a wall for defense against the Spartans while they were conquering the Persian land. Later, the Athens sided with Megara. War broke out between the Athenian Empire and the Spartans. The Athenians lost, and the Athenians had to sign a thirty-year treaty with the Spartans. This is ‘The First Peloponnesian War’. The treaty was broken when Samos, the ally of Athens formed a rebellion. The Spartans decided not to interfere for they were afraid there would be a war. The Athens soon formed an alliance with Corcyra and other powerful city-states. However, Corcyra was not friendly with Corinth. The trading of goods were endangered because of this alliance. Corinth, Megara, and Aegean urged Sparta to start a war.
