After thirty years, they cut a peace arrangement with Persia which left Athens in control of 200 Greek city-states it had led against the Persian Empire, and Athens turned this Delian League into an empire of its own, living high off the proceeds. This led an over-confident Athens into a prolonged war against the other Greek states led by Sparta. This lasted 27 years, and was won by the Spartan-led Peloponnesian League after Persia got its revenge by financing a fleet for the League to defeat Athens' hitherto superior navy.
