What were the long-term effects of the Peloponnesian War on the political landscape and social structures of ancient Greece?

Answer 1

Mikayla Anderson

The Peloponnesian War led to the decline of Athenian dominance, weakening of city-states, and the rise of Macedon under Philip II. It caused economic hardship, population decline, and shifts in power dynamics, ultimately paving the way for the Hellenistic period and the spread of Greek culture under Alexander the Great.
