Detailed explanation-1: -Under the Athenian leader Pericles, Athens began taking control of the Delian League. In 454 BC, Pericles moved the treasury of the Delian League from Delos to Athens. This proved that Athens completely controlled the Delian League, and effectively began the Athenian Empire.
Detailed explanation-2: -Athens, however, quickly became the dominant player in the Delian League. Athens was able to control the League due to its powerful navy; no other polis had a navy anywhere near as large or effective, so the other members of the League had to contribute funds and supplies while the Athenians fielded the ships.
Detailed explanation-3: -The Delian and the Peloponnesian Leagues were two groups of allies that were run by the Athenians and Spartans. The Delian League was founded and ran by the city-state of Athens, while the Peloponnesian League was founded and ran by the Spartans. Athens and Sparta were both the most powerful allies in their leagues.
Detailed explanation-4: -The Delian League was composed of 330 city-states at its peak. Athens was very much the leader and dominant polis.
