Explanation
Answer: B - The Peloponnesian War was a series of wars fought by the Athens city-states against the Peloponnesian League led by Sparta. It transformed the ancient Greek world through the conquest of Athens, which meant that the prosperous city-state lived in stark poverty, never able to regain its former economic glory. The distrust of those city-states in power increased the number of civil wars around Greece. The Peloponnesian War devastated Greece in such a way that it was unable to recover.
