Peloponnesian War

The **Peloponnesian War** (431-404 BCE) was a protracted war fought between the Greek city-state of Athens and its Delian League allies against Sparta and the Peloponnesian League.

The war's primary cause is the struggle for supremacy and control over the Greek world: Athens, a maritime power, seeks to expand its influence, while Sparta, a land-based power, aims to maintain its dominance. After decades of battles and shifting alliances, the war ends with the defeat of Athens, leading to the decline of the Athenian Empire and the rise of Sparta as the dominant Greek city-state.

Pericles is the leader of Athens at the beginning of the war. Socrates fights for Athens during the war. Alcibiades switches sides between Athens and Sparta multiple times.

Thucydides writes a classic history of the Peloponnesian War.

A canal bisecting the country and allowing direct passage from Atlantic to Pacific is completed in 1914. The US controls a Zone on either side of the Canal until 1979. In 1989, the US invades Panama to remove General Manuel Noriega from power.
