In class we read Chapter 5. Highlighted a few notes and I happen to write so down. We disused the Life before and during the Peloponnesian War for the Athens and for Sparta. Life before for the Athens; They were on a democracy , trading markets , people had power , there was a divers use of communication , it was peaceful , and educational. During the war the Plague came along , they were locked-in to there city-state, and rarely did they get exports. An in Sparta during the war they had a struggling Economy. We also went over .
The Reasons Why… Several Factors Contributed to Athens
Losing the Peloponnesian War
- Natural Disaster and Poor Leadership
- In 430 B.C., a terrible plague struck Athens, killing
thousands of inhabitants, including Pericles himself.
- Athens recovered, but leadership of the city passed to
reckless politicians who spurned Sparta's offers of compromise and “peace
without victory.”
- Damaging Losses
