Athens abused its leadership of the Dalian League, formed to protect against the Persian Empire invasion. When Persia agreed to peace, Athens turned the 180-city league into an empire of its own, continuing to collect the war contributions by force and spending the money on itself - the Parthenon etc, keeping half its own citizens on the public payroll, and maintaining a navy to enforce the annual money collection.
It also used this power to interfere in other Geek cities outside its empire, eventually trying to bankrupt its neighbour Megara in a spiteful dispute. Megara was a member of the Sparta-led Peloponnesian League and called for support. An over-confident Athens refused to back off and the devastating Peloponnesian War ensued for 27 yeas, Athens losing and stripped of its empire, becoming a second rate power.
