After Sparta successfully led the repulse of the Persian invasion, it proposed that the Greek cities inside the Persian Empire be evacuated to mainland Greece to end the conflict. Opportunistic Athens countered by forming a league of these cities to continue war. Sparta, facing a serf revolt at home left them to it.
Athens formed the Delian League with other city states including Sparta
ANSWER There had been three major leagues formed by Greeks city states: The Peloponnesian League under Sparta's hegemony, formed about the mid of the VI century BC to contrast the Athens's power. The first Delian-Attica league under Athens's hegemony, formed in 478-477 BC during the last phase of the Persian Wars. The second Delian-Attica League under Athens's hegemony, formed in 377 BC in opposition to the military alliance between Sparta and the Persian Empire.
In Athens the women weren't free, they had to clean, cook, and had to be hidden when they're husband's friends comes over. In Sparta, the women were free and they could have jobs and go anywhere! But in athens, they had to ask for permission. In sparta, they had better security, they had the military but athens didnt care about the military. In athens, only men were able to vote and participate in the government but in sparta, women can join the military and get jobs also they can vote!
After the Persian War, Athens converted the anti-Persian Delian League which it led into an empire of its own. Using this power, it became aggressive against some of the other independent city-states, culminating in its attempt to bankrupt its neighbour Megara, a member of the Peloponnesian League led by Sparta. Sparta appealed to Athens to back off, Athens refused and war ensued.
Sparta controls nothing
Sparta refused to join the Delian League because they refused to give tokens.
Athens was part of the Delian League and Sparta was part of the Peloponnesian League. -Ava :)

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.
