After the Persian invasion of mainland Greece was repelled, Athens led a coalition of eastern Greek city-states to counter Persian attempts to rule them. The Delian League had its treasury at Delos. When the Persia Empire gave up the struggle and made peace, Athens turned the League into an empire of its own, continuing to levy the war funds, by force where necessary, and spent the money on beautifying Athens and putting half its citizens on the public payroll.
