After the Persian invasion 480-479 BCE was repelled by the league of southern Greek cities, Athens took over leadership of 180 freed cities to keep the Persians at bay, forming the Delian League. Some cities came to resent having to pay for this protection and started to leave. Athens led expeditions to enforce payment of the annual tax to pay for the navies of the League, beginning with Naxos. When the Persians finally made peace in 449 BCE, Athens continued to exact the payments, by force where necessary. It misused the money by spending it on itself, and reduced the cities into a virtual empire under its dominance and financial extortion. This lasted until 404 BCE when Athens was defeated in the Peloponnesian War and was stripped of its empire.
