Peloponnesian War Concept Map Overview
The Peloponnesian War (431 to 404 BCE) was a conflict between the Athenian Empire and the Peloponnesian League led by Sparta. It is recorded mainly by Thucydides. A concept map of the war sorts its long history into causes, the early and middle phases, the Sicilian disaster and the final collapse of Athens.
- Causes: Athenian growth, Corinthian complaints, Spartan fear of Athens
- Archidamian War: early raids, the Plague of Athens, the Peace of Nicias
- Sicilian Expedition: the failed Athenian invasion of Syracuse
- Decelean War: Persian aid to Sparta and renewed fighting in Ionia
- Outcome: Lysander's victory at Aegospotami and the fall of Athens
Use the map to review each phase before an exam, then check your recall with a quiz. CogniGuide can build a version from your own course notes.
