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.

The Proclamation of 1763 in America. The London government issued this to prohibit settlement to the west of the Appalachian mountains in order to oppress the colonists and to settle the Indian problem without another eruption like Pontiac's uprising. (Another event that starts with a P.)
