If you are talking about Cities States and the Peloponnesian War is mainly because half of the states were in ally with Sparta and the other half were allies with Athens, plus some other neutral states. Sparta and Athens were the two dominant states back then, so when Athens started to gain more and more power, Sparta didn't like that. The possible reason why Sparta and Athens were in dispute all the time might be the governmental system, Sparta had an oligarchic system, and Athens a democratic system. Was like nowadays political parties.
