The decision to attack Sparta

Athens's defeat by Sparta
The Peloponnesian War (431-404 BC) between Sparta and Athens started the decline of the Athenian Empire. Sparta emerged as the victor of the war and the most powerful Greek state for many years. Athens continued as a cultural and intellectual center until its further decline in the Middle Ages up until its fall to the Ottoman Empire in 1456.
