After the Persian invasion was repelled, Sparta left the ongoing wars and turned its attention to controlling revolts by its large serf population. It headed the Peloponnesian League which came into conflict with Athens after the Persian war was over and Athens turned the Delian League it had led into the war into an empire of its own. This conflict led to the Peloponnesian War in which Athens was defeated and Sparta became the dominant power in the Greek world for the next 30 years, when the constant wars amongst the Greek city-states so weakened Sparta that it was displaced by Thebes, and faded out of power.
