Causes and course of the peloponnesian war
The document summarizes key differences between Athens and Sparta that contributed to tensions and ultimately war. Sparta believed Athens was gaining too much power through the Delian League. Other city-states felt Athens was using league funds for its own benefit. War was declared in 432 BCE after Athens attempted to annex Corcyra against Sparta's ally Corinth.
