How did Athens come to control the delian league?
You can't exactly pin-point an exact date for this transformation as the Delian League gradually progressed toward becoming the Athenian Empire. How it did this was through Athens slowly increasing their level of control over their allies. They increased their control in a number of different ways. For one, as soon as a member of the League became rebellious Athens would take their autonomy and use their navy to suppress them. Also, the allies had to pay tribute or provide ships, many would decide that the upkeep for these ships and the risk of losing men on lengthy expeditions was too much so they would resort to paying the tribute instead. This was beneficial for Athens as they would be the only ones with a great navy because the allies (which were islands) would be lacking in experience and Athens could happily then spend the tribute money on reinforcing their own navy. Additionally, Athens being the bigger and better member of the League and quite clearly the leader as such, would have the most influence in the council of the League. Being that they were able to intimidate the members into voting a certain way. There are many events that lead to the D.L becoming the A.E and I could probably talk about it forever... hope this helps?
