The reasons for this war are sometimes traced back as far as the democratic reforms of Cleisthenes, which Sparta always opposed. However, the more immediate reason for the war was Athenian control of the Delian League, the vast naval alliance that allowed it to dominate the Mediterranean Sea.

Ancient Greece: The Pelopponesian War - English
URL: http://www.wsu.edu/~dee/GREECE/PELOWARS.HTM

Suspicious and fearful of Athenian power and wealth, the Spartans were not happy with the thirty year peace they had agreed to. The Athenians themselves had become chauvinistic and power hungry, and seemed ready to begin to reassert their power on the mainland of Greece. In 431, spurred on by a relatively trivial event in a distant part of the Greek mainland, Sparta and Athens fell into another war which is simply called, The Peloponnesian War.

Афины и Спарта являлись двумя центрами, около которых образовались два самых крупных политических объединения Греции-Афинская держава и Пелопоннесский союз. Соперничество между ними увеличивалось с каждым днём и, наконец, во второй половине V в. вылилось в панэллинскую междоусобную войну, известную в истории под именем пелопонесской войны (431-404 гг.).
