The Peloponnesian wars brought about a few oligarchic revolutions that disturbed the democracy in Athens. The fall of Athenian democracy began in 338 BC after a rise in power from Macedonians caused Athens to secede. Athens was forced to join the League of Corinth and was then under Macedonian control. After strenuous effort to preserve the democratic ideology, the League of Corinth's dismantling, although superficial in its destruction, symbolizes the reoccurring internal battle that Athens endured from numerous fronts, domestic and abroad.
