The Corinthian War (395–387 BC) was a conflict in ancient Greece involving several city-states, including Athens, Thebes, Corinth, and Argos, against the dominant power of Sparta. The war arose from tensions after the Peloponnesian War, as these city-states sought to curb Spartan influence and regain their autonomy. The conflict saw various battles and shifting alliances, with Persia providing support to the anti-Spartan coalition. Ultimately, the war ended with the signing of the King's Peace in 387 BC, which reaffirmed Spartan hegemony but also established a temporary balance among the Greek states.
