Changes

Athens further consolidated their position by making [[Aegina]] a member of the Delian League and by ravaging the Peloponnese. The Athenians were defeated in 454 BC by the [[Persian Empire|Persians]] in Egypt which caused them to enter into a five years' truce with Sparta. However, the war flared up again in 448 BC with the start of the Second Sacred War. In 446 BC, Boeotia revolted and defeated the Athenians at [[Battle of Coronea (447 BC)|Coronea]] and regained their independence.

The First Peloponnesian War ended in an arrangement between Sparta and Athens, which was ratified by the [[Thirty Years' Peace]] (winter of 446–445 BC). According to the provisions of this peace treaty, both sides maintained the main parts of their empires.  Athens continued its domination of the sea while Sparta dominated the land.  Megara returned to the Peloponnesian League and Aegina becoming a tribute paying but autonomous member of the Delian League. The war between the two leagues restarted in 431 BC and in 404 BC, Athens was occupied by Sparta.
