Athens led the anti-Persian alliance of Greek city-states after the Persians were driven back.
They used this position, and the revenue fron the war fund, to doninate the cities in the alliance, and after peace was made with the Persians, they kept control of the allies, using the war fleet maintained by the forced contributions of money, turning the alliance into an empire.
