What was The confederacy founded by cities along the Aegean sea to oppose the Persians?
The confederacy founded by cities along the Aegean Sea to oppose the Persians was known as the Delian League. Established in 478 BCE after the Persian Wars, it was led by Athens and aimed to coordinate defense against Persian aggression. Member states contributed ships or money to a common treasury located on the sacred island of Delos. Over time, the league transformed into an Athenian empire, leading to tensions with other Greek city-states.

They were looking for a stable frontier. When they took over Asia Minor, they thought they had western border in the Aegean Sea. But it included over a hundred Greek city-states, which had been established by the Greek cities of mainland Greece to take their surplus population. These cities looked for support to their mother-cities across the Aegean and those mother cities sent aid, and they responded, so the Persian western border of the Aegean failed. Persia tried to establish control of the two main external troublemakers, Athens and Eretria, by installing compliant tyrants in them in 490 BCE. This was frustrated by the defeat of its expeditionary force at Marathon, which only encouraged the troublemakers. Persia therefor looked for a final solution of incorporing mainland Greece within its empand and so establish an ethnic frontier at the Adriatic Sea line to the west. The invasion in 480 BCE was mounted for this purpose. It too failed. Persia then fell back on its Aegean line, with an anti-Persian confederation including the Asia Minor cities led by Athens breaching this line too, until the Peace of Callias in 449 BCE established a settlement, where Persia conceded the freedom of the Greek cities.
