What did the Delian League begin as an alliance to?
It was formed after the Persian invasion of mainland Greece was turned back. The Greek city-states in Asia Minor and the Islands which had been liberated from Persian rule needed protection and Athens formed them into a defensive League to protect them from Persia re-imposing its rule.

Why did the Delian League start?
After the Persian invasion was repelled in 479 BCE, Sparta wanted to evacuate the Greek city-states in Asia Minor back to mainland Greece to avoid ongoing clashes with the Persians, which had been the source of the war. Athens had a better idea - to organise the cities into a league which would have the strength to prevent the Persian Empire taking control of them again. This group established its treasury in a temple on the island of Delos, hence the name of the league. Athens led this league, and after the Persian Empire agreed to peace, Athens opportunistically turned it into an empire of its own.
