The war began on 4 April 431 B.C. with a Theban attempt to surprise Plataea, Athens' ally and outpost on the northern base of Cithaeron. It ended on 25 April 404 B.C., when Athens capitulated

The Pelopponnesian war was Sparta&Persia, against Athens&the Delian League (rest of the Greek city-states). Sparta, and Athens had always hated each other, so they battled it out, and Sparta&Persia won.

Here are the three phases:

The Archidamian war: phase 1 431-427; phase 2 426-421
The Sicilian war: 421-413
The Ionian or Decelean War: phase 1 412-404; phase 2 407-404
