It was key to turning back the Persian invasion by crushing the Persian navy on which its strength rested. Then Athens used its superior fleet to spearhead the post-invasion Delian League to keep the liberated Greek cities in Asia Minor and the Islands free of Persian rule.
The League's success resulted in Persia giving up its quest to impose peace on the Greek cities and agreeing to stay out of Greek areas. Athens however saw its opportunity and retained the Delian League, collecting the annual contributions from the 200 cities, and spent the money on itself and on its navy which collected the money from them - by force where necessary. So the League effectively became an empire of Athens.
