The primary purpose of the treaty was to prevent another outbreak of war. Ultimately, the peace treaty failed in achieving its goal. With the outbreak of the Second Peloponnesian War, in 431 BCE
Term of the Treaty
|
Who benefitted more from the Agreement?
|
Why?
|
Athens had to give up control of Nisaea, Pagae, Troezen and Achaea (1.115.1)
|
Sparta
|
Athens gave up control of all city states in the Peloponnese
|
There should be a list of allies of each side, and each side should keep what it possessed at the time of the treaty with the exception of those mentioned in clause 1(1.140.2). If any ally were to revolt and be received into the other side's alliance, then the alliance which received the revolting ally would be deemed to have broken the treaty
|
Athens
|
If an ally revolts, the Spartans can not intervene and try to help them
|
Any state not listed was deemed to be a 'neutral' and therefore was free to join either alliance, if it wished (1.35.2)
|
Both (Although according to Thucydides, Athens benefitted the most)
|
Greek states may prefer to join Sparta rather than falling victim to Athenian Imperialism
Both sides could gain new allies - Athens gained Corcyca as an ally Athens may have benefitted the most as it gave them free reign to continue expanding |
Argos, although unlisted, was exempt from clause 3. No military alliance was to exist between Argos and Athens, although diplomatic relations were allowed
|
Sparta
|
Athens and Argos couldn't ally themselves against Sparta
|
There may have been a clause guaranteeing the autonomy of Aegina within the Athenian Empire (1.67.2)
|
Sparta/Aegina
|
Athens could not control or take tribute from Aegina
