A war 431-404 BCE between the cities and their allies which wrecked most of the Greek world. Athens lost its empire and dominance, Sparta became the leading power for 30 years until overturned by Thebes.
The weakening and instability gave a free ride to Persian influence over Greece, but subsequently opened the way for Macedonia to dominate Greece, and finally mount a campaign to destroy the Persian empire.
Both had formed rival leagues. Athens' was aggressive, Sparta's was set up as a defensive measure against this.
After several limited and localised clashes, Athens tried to ruin Megara, a city in Sparta's Peloponnesian League, refused to back off and general war ensued between the two blocs.

In Sparta, the State was everything, the individual almost nothing, except for his capacities as a warrior. Sparta as a result never produced a philosopher, writer or scientist of any note. In Athens there were several philosopher's schools where pupils were trained to think for themselves and outwit each other in debate. Athens' leader Pericles for one said thait Athens' long tradition of free thought and debate should be an example for all of Greece. And where free thought and debate exist, indiviual opinion and individualism exist.
