The decisive urge to go to war resulted in the Roman Domination amongst Greece. Greece did not decline after the Battle of Corinth, instead, Greece expanded as the Greeks and Romans both adopted and spread Greek culture.

Although, this war could have been prevented and Greece could have stayed an independant city-state.

The Romans had conquered the Greek city-states/mainland of Greece during the Battle of Corinth.

This battle was caused by dissatisfaction with Spartians as they wanted to extend their city-states power.

Palace of Knossos Destroyed - 1300 BCE (-9)

Why is it

Measurable

The Peloponnesian War, in which remained undecided between Athens and Sparta in Ancient Greece marked the shift in greater power from Athens to Sparta. The Peloponnesian War was caused by the growing power of the two city-states, which were the most powerful city-states at the time.

The war resulted in the victory of Sparta, making Sparta the most powerful city-state in the region.

This led to the decline of the once most powerful city-state, Athens, as they were then occupied/taken over by Sparta.

This destruction striked the decline of the Minoans civilization and the vanishing of many different advancements/achievements throughout the Palace of Knossos. This sparked the decline of many, leaving it in the negative 9.
