Detailed explanation-1: -The spectacular defeat of the Persians at Salamis in 480 led to the formation of a more permanent alliance. Three years later negotiations, led by Aristides of Athens, began on the Greek island of Delos. The result was the Delian League, a sort of ancient equivalent to NATO.
Detailed explanation-2: -The city-states who left with Sparta became the Peloponnesian League. Athens decided to continue fighting against the Persian Empire in modern-day Turkey. The group of city-states who sided with Athens met at the sacred island of Delos to form a new alliance. This was the Delian League.
Detailed explanation-3: -The first leader of the Delian League was Cimon, a Athenian General and politician who was succeeded by Pericles and Ephialtes, who moved the treasury to Athens.
