Peloponnesian War
2
Delian League Set up after Xerxes attacked in the Persian War. Originally set up as a defensive and trade alliance. Athens led the league, but the treasury was kept on Delos. Each state had one equal vote. Different city-states would pay dues in different ways; some boats, some weapons, some men, etc. Eventually the treasury was moved from Delos to Athens. Athens also changed from accepting ships and men to money only. The Acropolis and Parthenon were built from money collected for the Delian League. Some believe this constitutes the Delian League changing into an Athenian Empire. A city- state revolted, they were put down and there land and mines were confiscated by Athens. Athens ignored treaties with Sparta and allied with Argos, an enemy of Sparta.
