Question

What was the effect of the formation of the Delian League?

Answer 1

The Delian League (or Athenian League) was an alliance of Greek city-states led by Athens and formed in 478 BCE to liberate eastern Greek cities from Persian rule and as a defence to possible revenge attacks from Persia following the Greek victories at Marathon, Salamis, and Plataea in the early 5th century BCE.

Answer 2

The Peloponnesian War

Step-by-step explanation:

One of the effects of the Delian League was the Peloponnesian War. The Delian League was an association of Greek city-states that was originally formed in order to fight against the Persian Empire. However, soon Athens began using the league as a way to fund its own purposes. The control that Athens had over the league prompted the outbreak of the Peloponnesian War.
