Athens was just a city-state, but led a league of 180 cities to protect them from Persian rule. When the Persian Empire agreed to peace, Athens kept control of the cities, and sent the war fleet raised against the Persians around to the cities each year to force them to keep paying the war fund contributions, effectively converting the Delian League into an empire of its own.
