Chapter 12: Classical Greece Lesson 2 – Peloponnesian War Jedi Journal (Learning Target Notes)
4.) I can explain the reasons for war between Athens and Sparta. • Both city-states wanted to be the most powerful. • City-states feared Athens because of its grab for power and prestige. • The rise of Athens from a city-state into a naval empire. • Athenian settlers began to move into other city-state lands. • Resentment on how Athens spent money from the Delian League’s treasury.
5.) Can I outline the events and describe the results of the Peloponnesian War? • The war lasted for 27 years and the main city-states fighting were Athens and Sparta. • Athens avoided land battles, so Pericles persuaded people to come inside the acropolis for safety. • He thought food could be supplied via the sea. • Sparta cut off the food supply for Athens. • A plague outbreak killed around 33% of the Athenians, including Pericles. • Athens and Sparta signed a truce in 421 B.C. • Athens finally surrendered in 404 B.C.
