The Peloponnesian War was an Ancient Greek Civil War between the rival city states of Athens and Sparta and their allies. The war shattered the city states, and the golden age of Greece was at an end. Entire populations of some cities were wiped out and atrocities were customary in the war. One case is that a bunch of Thrican Mercenaries stormed a boys school and killed every student in the school. Athens even had votes on if the populations of certain rebelling cities should be wiped out and enslaved or not. Eventually, Sparta and its allies soon triumphed over Athens and its allies. Sparta created a pro-Spartan regime in Athens and done away with Athen's famous Democracy. The pro Spartan "30 Tyrants" regimes was very unpopular and repressive. Within several decades, the "30 Tyrants" were in several decades overthrown by the Atheinans.
