After the Persian invasion was repelled by the coalition of southern Greek cities, Sparta wanted to evacuate the cities in Asia Minor back to Greece to avoid further clashes with the persian Empire. Athens had a better idea - to form a league of Greek city-states in Asia Minor and the Islands against Persian intervention. Sparta was having problems with its restive serf population at home and did not join the Delian League. Athens later turned the League into an empire of its own, and lived high on the proceeds.

The city that was the head of the Delian League was Athens, Greece.

peloponnesian league led by Sparta fought the delian league led by Athens. the result was a peloponnesian league victory and the delian league was dismantled
The establishment of the Delian League allowed Athens to protect its sea borders and lessen the threat of becoming a target for the Persian Empire. This alliance caused Athens to become the dominant city-state in Greece.
