The Causes of the Peloponnesian War
Sparta and Athens had opposing forms of
government, Democracy and Oligarchy,
which always caused tension between the
two city states.
In the years following the Persian Wars these
tensions increased because:
• Sparta believed that Athens was trying to
take too much power.
• Other city states believed that Athens was
using the money from the Delian League
for their own gain (they were).

Agenda
The Athenians were confident
that they could defeat the
Spartans at sea because of
their superior navy and
protected access to a port.
The Spartans were confident
they could beat the Athenians
on land and launched raids on
the farms outside Athens for 5
years.

Agenda
Athens was known for its powerful
Navy.
Athenian
Offensive
• Athens was afraid to
make a big offensive
move against Sparta as
this could throw off the
power of democracy.
• Therefore the small
attacks they lead on the
city states allied with
Sparta had little affect to
them.
Sparta was known for their large and
well trained military
Sparta went to
war with
Athens
because they
were afraid of
the further
growth of
Athenian
power
Spartan Offensive Strategies
Sparta had the idea, that they would be able to starve
the Athenians into surrender by destroying the
crops in Attica
Thus it would force the inferior
Athenian army
to fight against the superior
Spartan-Theban forces.
During the war, Sparta led many attacks on Attica.
Athens raided the coast of the Peloponnese. The
attacks on Attica by the Spartans didn’t do much
harm to Athens because their food supply came
mainly from Egypt.
In 430 BCE many farmers
fled inside the walls that
surrounded Athens
seeking protection from
the Spartan Attacks
This lead to overcrowding,
and ultimately a plague.

A widespread illness that
causes a large number of

Agenda
Thucydides states,
“The bodies of dying men
lay one upon another, and
half-dead creatures reeled
about in the streets. The
catastrophe became so
overwhelming that men
cared nothing for any rule
of religion or law.”
The Finale to a
Long War.
• Sparta eventually built
a navy to defeat the
weakened Athenian
navy.
• Sparta captured the
entire Athenian fleet
without one loss, thus
cutting off the food
supply completely,
thus ending the war.
