Q

A

The war between Athens (naval power) and Sparta (land power) was fuelled by
Athens’ growing dominance over Greek city-states. Sparta, leading the Peloponnesian
League, viewed Athens as a threat. The conflict was inevitable due to political
rivalries, economic competition, and unresolved tensions from earlier wars.
