Notes on Peloponnesian War

  1. Sparta and Athens went to war.
  2. The Port of Piraeus is not by Athens. Athens created the "long walls." From the city center, two walls were built to the harbor.
  3. Sparta and Athens come out over summer and battle. Eventually Sparta is able to move the Athenians back who decided to hold up in Athens. The Athenians are stuck in the city and the Spartans have closed off the long walls. The Spartans burn down crops. The plague then hit and it hit hard. The Athenians are basically trapped and come to somewhat a truce. The Spartans go home, but the Athenians suffered great losses.
  4. Alcibiades was the one that came up with the plan to attack Sicily. There was vandalism in the city of Athens and he was blamed.
