Athens formed the Delian League in 478 BCE, initially as a coalition of Greek city-states aimed at defending against Persian aggression after the Greco-Persian Wars. The league was named after the island of Delos, where its treasury was initially located. Over time, Athens increasingly dominated the league, using its naval power to exert influence and control over member states, which ultimately contributed to tensions that led to the Peloponnesian War.
