	Peloponnesian League - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The Peloponnesian League was an alliance of states in the Peloponnese in the 6th and 5th centuries BC.
		The league was organized with Sparta as the hegemon, and was controlled by the council of allies which was composed of two bodies.
		Thus the Peloponnesian League was not an "alliance" in the strictest sense of the word (nor was it wholly Peloponnesian for the entirety of its existence).

	Peloponnesian War - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The Peloponnesian War began in 431 BC between the Athenian Empire (or The Delian League) and the Peloponnesian League which included Sparta and Corinth.
		According to Thucydides, the cause of the war was the "fear of the growth of the power of Athens" throughout the middle of the 5th century BC.
		Athens, the largest member of the league and the major Greek naval power, took the leadership of the league and appointed financial officers to oversee its treasury, which was located on the island of Delos, the League headquarters.

	Peloponnesian League
		The Peloponnesian League was, essentially, a loose organization of towns that shared some sentimental ties, like the cult of Heracles and the believe that many of them were Dorians.
		During the Persian War (480-479), the Peloponnesian League was the model of the Hellenic League that fought against the invaders.
		After the Peloponnesian War, in which the Spartans and their allies defeated the Athenians and their allies, the Peloponnesian League continued to exist, even when the Persian king Artaxerxes II Mnemon made the Greeks sign a common peace treaty in which the autonomy of all towns was guaranteed ("the King's peace", 387/386).

		The general affairs of the league were managed by a synod which met periodically in the temple of Apollo and Artemis at Delos, the ancient centre sanctified by the common worship of the Ionians.
		It is, however, equally noticeable on the one hand that the main body of the allies was not affected, and on the other that the Peloponnesian League on the advice of Corinth officially recognized the right of Athens to deal with her rebellious subject allies, and refused to give help to the Samians.
		The league was further weakened by the secession of Corcyra, and by 355 was reduced to Athens, Eubora and a few islands.

		In 432 a conference of Peloponnesian allies was summoned and the Corinthian envoys urged the Spartans to declare war on the ground that the power of Athens was becoming so great as to constitute a danger to the other states.
		In 429 the Peloponnesians were deterred by the plague from invading Attica and laid siege to Plataea in the interests of Thebes.
		The Peloponnesian malcontents turned to Argos as a new leader, and an alliance was formed between Argos, Corinth, Elis, Mantinea and the Thraceward towns (420).

		The league was, therefore, specifically a free confederation of autonomous [onian cities founded as a protection against the common danger which threatened the Aegean basin, and led by Athens in virtue of her predominant naval power as exhibited in the wae against Xerxes.
		The is!and was conquered with great difmculty by the whole fo~ce of the league, and from the fact that the tribute of the Thracian cities and those in Hellespontine district was increased between 439 and 436 we must probably infer that Athens had to deal with a widespread feeling of discontent about this period.

		Of the first ten years of the leagues history we know practically nothing, save that it was a period of steady, successful activity against the few remaining Persian.
		Athens might fairly insist that the protection of the Aegean would become impossible if some of the chief islands were liable to be used as piratical strongholds, and further that it was only right that all should contribute in some way to the security which all enjoyed.
		Though her secession, therefore, meant very little loss of strength, there were not wanting signs that the league was not destined to remain a power in the land.

		Each league member was to have a say in the overall policy of the alliance; however, in practice, Athens's position typically carried the day.
		By the early 460s, Athens's relative strength within the Delian League was such that the alliance took on the character and dynamics of an empire.
		Still considered the greatest land-military power, Sparta continued to lead the Peloponnesian League, which rivaled the Athenian empire (Peloponnesus is the geographic region surrounding Sparta).

		The Greeks called this conflict "the war between the Peloponnesians and the Athenians." One side consisted of Sparta and its core allies throughout the Peloponnese, grouped into a Spartan-led alliance known as the Peloponnesian League.
		Thus, the Peloponnesian War was partly a conflict between two political ideologies—radical democracy, embodied by Athens and most of its allies, and the old-fashioned government of Oligarchy, championed by Sparta.
		The Peloponnesian War's final nine years are sometimes known as the Ionian War, because the major campaigns shifted to the eastern Aegean and the shorelines of Asia Minor (particularly to the Greek region of western Asia Minor called Ionia).

		This new league had several purposes besides defense; one of these was to wage a military campaign against the Persians to free those Greek cities that were still under the control of the Persians.

		Sparta and her Peloponnesian league decided not to intervene in the conflict between Athens and Samos, but two incidents involving the Corinthian colonies of Corcyra and Potidaea brought Athens and the Peloponnesians to the brink of war.
		In the Peloponnesian war she again had the role of liberator with regard to the Greek states in the Delian league which had fallen subject to the tyranny of Athens.
