The Peloponnesian War was fought between Athens and Sparta about 400 years B.C.

Pontiac's War was a war started in 1763 by a group of Native American tribes in the Ohio / Michigan / Illinois area in response to the British seizure and settlement of areas the British had won from the French in the French and Indian War. (The French had traded with the Native Americans to their mutual benefit but had not tried to settle much of the land.) Pontiac was an Ottawa chief who was the most prominent of several Native American leaders.

One historical event that starts with the letter "P" is the Peloponnesian War, which took place between Athens and Sparta from 431 to 404 BCE. This conflict had a significant impact on ancient Greece, leading to the eventual decline of both city-states. The war is well-documented by Thucydides in his work "History of the Peloponnesian War."
