The Athenians acted unwisely by imposing heavy tributes on their Delian League allies and using the league's resources primarily for their own benefit, rather than for mutual defense. This fostered resentment among the allies, who felt exploited and marginalized, leading to strained relationships. Additionally, Athens' aggressive military actions and authoritarian governance stifled local autonomy, ultimately contributing to the league's fragmentation and weakening Athenian power in the long run.
