What groups resented Athens' growing power after winning the Second Persian War?
The anti-Persian (Delian) League which it led resented Athens continuing to levy the contributions to the League and using them to pay for the glorification of Athens (Parthenon etc) and putting half its citzens on the public payroll. They also resented Athens collecting these contributions by force using the money to pay for the Athenian navy which extorted the money from them. The Peloponnesian League led by Sparta resented Athens using this naval power to interfere in the affairs of the cities of their League. The Persians temporarily resented their defeat, and when the Athenian league came to war with the Peloponnesian League, eventually supplied the Peloponnesians with the money to fund a fleet to match the Athenians, resulting in Athens losing the war and being stripped of the empire it had turned the Delian League into.
