Persian- lost the war- Persia was weakened because of lack of leadership by Xerxes and other emperors- empire survived 150 years after the wars, and was then conquered by Alexander the Great. Delian League was created
- alliance of city-states created to protect against further invasions- an alliance of equals- but the League was controlled by Athens.

Peloponnesian' -
tensions between two leagues caused conflict between Athens and Sparta, this led to war . Sparta and allies were angry about influence of Athens- created the Peloponnesian League. Delian League- abuse of Athenian power and money
