The Peloponnesian war lasted for several decades in the fifth century B.C. One side was led by Athens, and their main adversary was:
A) Persia B) Sparta ü C) Thebes D) Troy
The historical bad blood between Athens and Sparta came to a head in this protracted war, whose outcome was satisfying for neither. It was particularly disastrous for the Athenians, though, who spent heavily of their troops and treasure but gained nothing.
