# Peace of Nicias
# Peace of Nicias
## Overview
The Peace of Nicias (421 BCE) was a treaty intended to end the first phase of the Peloponnesian War (the Archidamian War) between Athens and Sparta. It was supposed to last 50 years but effectively collapsed within a few years.
## Key Facts
- Date: 421 BCE
- Parties: Athens and Sparta (and their respective allies)
- Context: Ended the Archidamian War (431–421 BCE), first phase of the Peloponnesian War
- Duration: Nominally 50 years; effectively ~6 years
## Terms
- Return of prisoners and captured territories
- Mutual non-aggression for 50 years
- Disputes to be settled by arbitration [^1]
## Failure
- Key Spartan allies (Corinth, Boeotia) refused to sign
- Neither side fully implemented the terms
- Alcibiades undermined the peace by forming an anti-Spartan alliance
- The Sicilian Expedition (415–413 BCE) effectively ended any pretense of peace [^2]
