The Delian League was defensive, and protected the Greek city-states, not to take over Anatolia, which remained under Persian control except for the Greek cities. The 180 cities of the Delian League paid for the navies of Athens, Samos, Chios and Lesbos which were able to keep the Persian navy away and provide ground support for threatened cities. After 30 years the Persians gave up trying to regain control of the cities and left them to their own devices, agreeing in the Peace of Callias not to go beyond specific lines by sea, and accept the independence of the Greek city-states in Asia Minor.

Athens the Persian threat subsided, Athens converted the Delian League into an empire of its own and used its war contributions for its own benefit, and used the League resources to try to dominate Greece, leading to the Peloponnesian War against the Peloponnesian League led by Sparta. After losing this war by 404 BCE, Athens was stripped of its empire, and became a second rate power. A short time later Persia took the opportunity to reabsorb these cities in Asia Minor and impose the 'King's Peace' on the still-warring Greek city-states in mainland Greece, whose fighting was spilling over into the Persian Empire.

What turkish men were involved in the armenian genocide?

In 1915, Ismail Enver Pasha, one of the leaders of the Ottoman Empire (the country that would become Turkey) and the Young Turk Revolutionary Organization, coordinated the genocide of the Armenian people living in the eastern part of Anatolia. He did this along with two other key Young Turk leaders: Mehmed Talaat Pasha, and Ahmed Djemal Pasha. It was a coordinated attempt to drive the Armenians out of their ancestral lands and to eliminate not only them, but all traces that they had ever lived in eastern Anatolia. These men were extreme nationalists who wanted to create a modern ethnically Turkish state. In addition to the Armenians, Pontic Greeks and Assyrians were also subject to the genocide.

Explain the Greek-Persian War?

The Greek cities of Asia Minor, part of the Persian Empire, revolted in 499 BCE. This was put down by 494 BCE, however the mainland Greece cities of Eretria and Athens had supported the revolt so the Persian king Darius, decided to punish the two cities as a warning to the other Mainland cities of Greece to stay out of his territory in Asia, and sent an expeditionary force to capture them and appoint local tyrants to continue to keep them under control. When this was turned back at the Battle of Marathon in 490 BCE, he decided to bring all the Greek cities under control, leading to the failed invasion by his son Xerxes 480-479 BCE. After this defeat, Sparta, which had led resistance, wanted to evacuate the Asian Greek cities back to Mainland Greece. Athens wanted to drive the Persians back in Asia Minor and led a consortium of 180 cities (Delian League) in spasmodic warfare over the the next 30 years, until the Persians gave up in 449 BCE, and left the Greek cities to go back to their usual fighting each other. Interestingly, the Spartan solution was adopted over 2,000 years later after World War 1, when the large Greek population of Asia Minor, under Turkish rule, was evacuated back to Greece in 1922 after the Greek forces were defeated.
