When the peloponnesian war happened?

Answer 1

The Peloponnese is the almost-an-island southern part of Greece connected to the rest of Greece by the Isthmus of Corinth. Because Sparta was located on this part of Greece, and because its history was written by an Athenian, I am guessing that is why it is still called the Peloponnesian War. If it had been written by a Spartan, we would probably know it as the Attican War, because Attica is where Athens was located.

The best thing that I can suggest for you to do is go online and find a war map of the Peloponnessian War which will show the areas of operation and major battles, not all of which were fought in Greece. The siege of Syracuse, for example, took place in Sicily.

Answer 2

The Peloponnesian war happened in ancient Greece between 431 and 404 BCE and it was a major war of the powers at the time: Athens and their allies against Sparta and their Peloponessian alies. The war spread also in the colonies of the powers and although the Spartans won the war could not administrate their victory leaving thus space to the emerging Greek powers of Thebes and later the Macedons. Pericles the famous leader of Athens died in the third year of the war due to the plague that was spread in the country.

Answer 3

It was fought in many smaller battles all around ancient Greece
