When the Persian threat abated, Athens converted the Delian League into a virtual empire and continued to collect the funds to maintain its naval supremacy at little cost to itself.

With continuing Athenian adventurism, conflicts arose which laid the path to war.

He stole the money, collected by the Greek city-states of the Delian League to defend against the Persians, and spent it on Athens, building the Parthenon, putting half the citizens of Athens on the public payroll and maintaining a fleet to collect the money by force. This gained him a controlling voice in the running of the city - allowing him to reward his friends and push Athens into trying to dominate the Greek world. It gave him personal satisfaction, and enabled him to make Athens dominant in war and culture.
What cuased the Peloponnesian war?
When Persian agression became a serious problem for the Greek city-states under Darius I, Athens organised a self-protection group - the Delian League - which enabled the small group city-states to collaboratively defend themselves against the Persian military superpower. Over time Athen's dominance over the Delian league began to worry other Greek city states, who thought Athens had become more of a threat than Persia. Eventually Sparta formed the Peloponnesian League, and in time the two new power blocks found themselves at war with each other.
