How did the Peloponnesian War Happen? – Athens Faces Sparta (431–404 BC)
Sparta and Athens. Names recognizable across the globe. They were once the powerhouses of Ancient Greece, and it was the quarrel between these two entities, particularly that so stunningly brought about the end of the Golden Age for Greece. So what was it that pitted the mighty Athens against the steamrolling Spartans? How did these all-powerful city-states cause so much damage to an entire region?…
How was ancient Greece the loser? Philip's conquest resulted in Alexander taking Asia and the Greeks colonizing all of the near East, while Greek kingdoms emerged as far as Bactria and India. The fact that Macedon conquered the other Greek states is the primary reason the Roman empire turned Greek in the medieval age, and Greece still existing today
Again, the Kingdom of Macedon was Greek. So Greece wasn't the loser as a whole as you claim, but the winner, cause the Macedonian empire went on to get enormous.

As a historian i can add, Syracuse was colonized by Corinth, They had very close ties with their motherpolis.
After Peloponnesos war there were many unemployed mercenary hoplits and bands. Around 10.000 of them march to overthrow Persian king and replace Cyrus the young. Yet they failed to do so. After that, they march back from the Persia to Hellas.
Fun fact is, Alexander the great was impressed by this event became an inspiration to conquer Persia.

We discussed this topic recently at university. The reason for the end of the golden age of greece (a rather subjective term, because in the 4th century the political independence ended but not the cultural work) was the inability of any greek city state to achive lasting dominance over whole greece. Spartans hegemony ended at the battle of Leuctra 371 BCE. Thebes hegemony only laste to the second battle of Mantineia 362 BCE. After the theben defeat no polis was able to achive sole hegemony over greece. Apart from the fail to setablish a sole hegemon, greece was also unable to build a joint-reign on a peaceful way. Alone, every city state was too weak to resist empire. In the Persian Wars the Greeks saw the need to join ranks btu they faild to do so afterwards. Thus the greek concept of the city state failed and they fell prey to greater empires such as the macedons, who have risen in power due to a lot of good political maneuvering and military reforms and later the romans.
The ending doesn't seem explained very well. In the end, Macedon conquered all of Greece and "the real loser in it all was ancient Greece." Why? Macedon was just another Greek state. How did that spell the end of Greece?
What a terrible narrator. He speaks too slowly, over-enunciates to a ridiculous point, and ALWAYS mispronounces everything! How can you not even say "Corinth" right!?
Sometime videos like this tell the truth for the people and stop the lies of the so called megali-idea. Where is Epirus and Macedonia that Greeks claim as part of their helenic populations and territories??? The answer is simple; Epirus has always been Albanian and grabbed by Greece in 1913 as did with the territory of Macedonia. To add that also Macedonians never spoke the old Greek language (different from the the new Greek)
Dorians were pelazgian and doric language was not greek. The only question is: did Greece occupied and annexed Southern Albania and slavic Macedonians in 1913??? Another question is have you ever read the original Iliad of Homer? In what language is written?? Have you ever seen the difference of : old greek and new greek languages????
It is a boring Sunday, you dread Monday coming. Suddenly Knowledgia, Sandroman History and Kings & Generals upload videos and the day is saved!
You upload this while I’m doing my second play through of assassins creed odyssey nice

How come the plague was so well contained to the Athens' side….

The mighty eagle bearer ended it while defeating an evil cult
The map of the Peloponnesian League always makes me laugh
Argos just sitting there like "Maybe if we don't move neither of them will see us."
Prussia campaign please

THIS
Finally more context about the Peloponnesian war, I was curious about it when I played AC Odyessy.
Interesting
How different history could have played out if Athens, who championed ideas of democracy had won, instead of the warrior culture of Sparta?
Take a shot everytime he says corINTH.

Can't believe he forgot about kasandra
I don’t know if I have ever heard “vs” pronounced like that
Ha…. Youre plagued by the horse of gut rot so In gonna leave you your disease.
Wow the ending was so wrong in so many levels😅 completely skipped a bunch of conflicts and no phillip didn't end sparta's ambitions that was thebes
I'm sure a lesson could be taken from what happened to ancient Greece
Watches this as I play AC Odyssey
Spartans, the Gigachads of the ancient world. Thanks for the video.
People in ancient Greece fighting their neighboring towns feels like the epitome of pettiness. You're fighting your own people, ffs.
The Persians would play each city state off of each other.
Athens was like the US, a democracy that had to fight off a an oppressive militaristic Sparta which was like the USSR of the time.

This is why unification for the sake of regional and cultural survival as the Chinese demonstrated in 221 BCE was a wise choice
Why is there no sound
Nothing changes. Alliances clash in some small time region after taking sides.
Also Alcibiades is one of my favourite personalities of the era.
Great job!

These colored territories in this map were the real Greece

I like how the Power shifted in ancient Greece from Athens to Sparta and Sparta to Makedonia. The 3 most powerful Greek empires
can we have a chronicle of the independence of Argentina, Chile and Peru? the Andes campaign was a massive effort for the time.
Please,Turkish language.
