In the second half of the war, it led the Delian League of 180 Greek city-states, providing most of the naval force at their expense. After the Persian Empire agreed to peace, Athens kept collecting the war funds by force of its navy and spent the money on itself, and kept going a navy superior to any of the other Greek cities and leagues.

How did the Greek victory in the Persian war both unify Greece and lead to the rivalry between Athens and Sparta in the peloponnesian war?

In the later stage of the Persian War, Athens lled an anti-Persian league after Sparta retired from the leadership to handle its own sever internal problems. When peace was arranged with Persia, Athens continued to collect the financial contributions from the Greek cities of the Delian League, moved the treasury from Delos to Athens, and spent the money on itself and maintaining its fleet which it used to extort the money from the League members. The League was thus effectively converted to an empire of Athens. Athens became overconfident and interfered in the affairs of the Peloponnesian League led by Sparta, and this led to the eloponnesian War.
