Athen's plan to defeat the Peloponnesian people in war started when the Athenians witnessed their city being destroyed by the Peloponnesian army. They grew antsy not being able to do anything about it until Pericles reassured them that they needed to regain their strength by the food that was shipped into them from outside of Athens where the people were staying. Then eventually after about a year the ships brought in a deadly disease that swept the Athenians. Many of the population was wiped out and this in turn caused the remaining citizens to act out. Their beliefs became the idea that is both good and bad people died/ suffered what was the sense in being good. Pericles ended up being infected, and the illness moved slowly through him, it took about six months before he passed from it. After this the Athenian people and their democracy went into full corruption and citizens began to lie and cheat their way into positions of power. Pericles seemed to have been a glue that held Athens together and prevented negative uproar. The corruption led to mod rule which only hurt Athen's more. That is all for today Mr. Schick. Hope you're staying healthy! Bye :)
