Impact on More than just Greece

The Peloponnesian War was important to the developement of many things in Greece. The largest being Government. Athens, being a democracy was defeated by the Spartans who ran a republic government but with two kings as to please other Greek city-states. With the defeat of the democratic pwerhouse in Athens, government became a new ideal throughout much of the ancient world. Even though Athens fell to the Spartnas and their allies, Democracy proved to be a reliable form of government. This led to the conversion of many of the ancient worlds super powers to democracy.
