During the Peloponnesian War between Athens and its empire and the Peloponesian League led by Sparta, the Peloponnesian League received assistance from the Persian Empire which wanted to remove the intrusion of Athes into the Persian Empire via the Greek cities in Asia Minor which it had controlled. The defeat of Athens left these cities exposed and Persia was able to resume control of them and restore peace within its boundaries.

What is the Persian War about for Athens and Sparta and what are the consequences for Athens?
After the Greek city-states of mainland Greece repelled the Persian attempt to incorporate them within its Empire 480-479 BCE, Sparta proposed that the Greek people living in their cities within the Persian Empire in Asia Minor be repatriated to mainland Greece to stop further clashes with Persia. Athens had a different idea - to form those cities into an anti-Persian alliance to protect them from continued Persian rule and interference. The Athenian proposal was accepted and the Delian League was formed; Sparta went its own way, dealing with internal problems within its own territories, while Athens led activity against Persia. After another thirty years of strife, Persia gave up and signed a peace with the Delian League. Athens opportunistically kept the 200 cities of the League under its control and continued to collect the war taxes from them, using the money for its own benefit, collecting the money by force where necessary; this made the League virtually an empire of Athens, so the cities ended up exchanging the Persian Empire for the Athenian Empire. Athens became dominant in the area, and became bolder, interfering in the affairs of the cities of the Spartan-led Peloponnesian League. This friction eventually led to the devastating 27-year Peloponnesian War; Persia eventually joined in this on the side of Sparta, and this resulted in Athens' defeat and being stripped of its Empire.
