Best Answer

it ended because Athens controlled much of its power and was using it for themselves it ended in 404 BC and was created in 478 BC so if you do the math that's 74 years.

Addendum:

After the Persians agreed to peace in 449 BCE, the Delian League which was formed in 478 BCE to protect Greek cities in Asia Minor and the Islands, lost its meaning - but not to Athens which led the League. Athens had collected the funds from the 180 cities to finance the League annually, and after the League's purpose waned, continued to enforce the collection and spend the money on itself. These collections were done by a fleet of 100 warships, so by the second half of the century, it had effectively become an empire of Athens.

Was Athens an oppressive leader of the delian league before the outbreak of the peloponnesian war?

Athens was pretty oppressive and in the of incidents such as the coercion of Carystus in 472bc, the revolt and subjugation of Naxos in 469bc and the result of Thasos at around 465bc Athyens wasn't afraid to show her immense power. The tribute that was imposed to fund the war effort during the Persian War was diverted to rebuilding the temples of Athens after the Peace of Callias which assured an end to hostilities between Persia and the Greeks which showed that Athens were using the money of other states under the pretense of good for all when in fact the member states would only receive some benefit if they were to visit Athens and admire the architecture. All this and more shows that Athens was indeed a reasonably oppressive leader of the Delian League in the years before the Peloponnesian War as the Delian League became more and more of an Athenian Empire.
