The Sparta-Athens war of 400 BC had an Athenian naval victory, the aftermath of which saw the arrival of a bad storm that prevented reclaiming from the waters bodies of the killed.
The upshot was that the Athenian Assembly, the only democracy in the world, ended up, despite the pleading of Socrates, executing half a dozen of the generals responsible for the victory, but also of not retrieving the bodies of the fallen.
The Spartans with their experienced commanders then defeated the inexperienced Athenians easily. After a year under siege, Athens surrendered to Sparta and democracy was put to death.
The will of the people is no guarantee of anything.
