It was formed under the leadership of Athens to oppose Persian attempts to incorporate about 200 Greek city-states within its empire. The league funds were located in a temple on the island of Delos, which gave the anti-Persian league its name.

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. The treasury to hold the members' contributions to pay for the League's naval forces was held in the Temple of Apollo on the island of Delos, from which came the modern name we give to it - the Delian League.

What was the name of the alliance formed by Athens because of the Persian War?
It was an anti-Persian league, which in modern parlance has been called the Delian League because it started by having its treasury in the island of Delos. As Athens progressively turned this league into an empire, and the Persian threat abated with a peace treaty in 449 BCE, Athens migrated the treasury to its Acropolis, where it was more conveniently available to squander on beautifying the city and paying for half the population in its public service.
What city state controlled Greece after the Persian wars?
There were two major groupings of city-states - the Athenian league/empire, and the Peloponnesian League led by Sparta.Initially Athens which had led the Greeks in the second half of the wars, and when peace was arranged, turned the Greek coalition, which it led, into an empire of its own. It used this to try to dominate the Greek world, but over-reached itself and was defeated and stripped of it empire, leaving Sparta as dominant power until Thebes displaced it. All this so weakened the Greek cities that Macedonia was able to dominate them.
