Athens turned the league which it led against the Persian Empire into an empire of its own. Using the power of this empire to bully other city-states. The Peloponnesian League led by Sparta called Athens on its attempt to bankrupt its neighbour Megara, a member of their league, an overconfident Athens persisted, resulting in a destructive war which Athens lost, and was stripped of its empire.

What changes did the Greek city-states make in governance after the Persian Wars?

Athens formed an anti-Persian alliance, the members of which (mainly in Aisa Minor and the Aegean islands) contributed to a fund to maintain a navy for the alliance. Athens, with a very superior navy, was able to enforce collection of this tribute, and effectively converted the alliance into an empire. So although the city-states were nominally independent, they paid tribute to Athens. Athens also encouraged those states to adopt a radical democratic form of government, which many did.
