The Aftermath of Athens' Defeat in the Peloponnesian War: Oligarchy and Decline

The Peloponnesian War ended in 404 BCE with the defeat of Athens, leading to significant political turmoil. The rise of oligarchic rule and the controversial actions surrounding figures like Alcibiades sparked instability, culminating in the coup of 411 BCE. While democracy was briefly restored in 410 BCE, ongoing military defeats and the rise of the Thirty Tyrants in 404 BCE marked a dark period for Athens. The aftermath saw the city join the Peloponnesian League, transforming its political landscape and undermining its civic integrity, while an exiled army eventually dismantled tyranny.
