Athens formed an alliance of Greek cities to oppose Persia after the Persian invasion had been repulsed. The alliance was funded by contributions from the league while Athens provided the naval power financed by this.
When peace was made with Persia, Athens continued to levy the contributions, using its navy to do so by force if necessary. This league thus effectively became an empire of Athens.
