what were the causes and effects of the peloponnesian war
plz make it sound like a 12 year old wrote it
The Peloponnesian War happened because Athens and Sparta didn't get along and they both wanted to be the most powerful city-state in ancient Greece. They fought a big war that lasted for a long time.
The war had a lot of bad effects on the people in Greece. Many soldiers died in battle and there were a lot of famines and diseases. The war also weakened both Athens and Sparta, so when it ended, they weren't as strong as they used to be. Plus, other city-states in Greece started to fight each other because they were all scared and didn't trust each other anymore.
