The Peloponnesian wars fough between Sparta and Athens in ancient Greece, finished around 2400 BCE, with the siege of Athens. The reason for this siege was that the Athenian power had been undermined by different losses, including that of the battle of Aegospotami, in which their fleet, composed by around 180 vessels, was reduced to 10.

More than 21,000,000 rations were distributed to impoverished blacks as well as whites.
