1. Hellenistic:   The "international" period of Greek history, when much of the Mediterranean and southwestern Asia was under Greek rule.The period of Greek history between the death of Macedonia King and Alexandra the Great
2. The Athenians lost the Peloponnesian War because Spartans had a better Army then Athens. They would take the time to train their young boys at a young age to fight when they are older. They brainwashed the young boys and made them believe that they were to defend their city and fight all their life and nothing else, and overall Sparta was way more well prepared than the Athenians, plus stronger. The geography was a disadvantage.
   For the most part the war was fought on water.  Athenians did have a better navy but overall their strategies sand warriors were not as advanced or "ready" as the Spartans warriors are. The Athenian army had gotten totally defeated by the Spartan army.
   Overall the Spartans were better than the Athenians. The Spartans had advanced fighting skills and they were hard-hitting.The Athens were too cocky , because they once beat the Persians twice and were too mind-blown , but didn't realize that Sparta and the Persian teamed up to defeat them.Therefore they lost the war and had to go under control of an oligarchy because of Sparta.
   As time passed Sparta eventually lost numerous amounts of men. Eventually The Athenians went back to a democracy since they clearly overruled the Spartans. Which lead them successfully back to their independence.
