The Delian League was formed under Athenian leadership to oppose Persia and keep the Greek city-states liberated from the Persian Empire from falling back under its control. When Persia agreed to peace and to keep away from these cities, Athens took the League treasury used to fud the resistance to Persia to Athens, but also kept up the annual levy for the fighting fund, collected by force if necessary.
The cities did not see why they should continue these payments. Athens
did, because it used the money to build the Parthenon etc and keep half its population on the public payroll, including it's navy which made an annual cruise extorting the contributions (or 'tribute') for the now-defunct anti-Persian defence.
They were kept paying, as Athens replaced the Persians as a master, so the cities, in escaping the Persian Empire, found themselves trapped in an Athenian Empire.

Is it true that Athens formed the Delian League with other city-states including Sparta?
After the Persian invasion was repelled by the coalition of southern Greek cities, Sparta wanted to evacuate the cities in Asia Minor back to Greece to avoid further clashes with the persian Empire. Athens had a better idea - to form a league of Greek city-states in Asia Minor and the Islands against Persian intervention. Sparta was having problems with its restive serf population at home and did not join the Delian League. Athens later turned the League into an empire of its own, and lived high on the proceeds.
