Detailed explanation-1: -Aftermath of the Persian Wars The violent actions of Spartan leader Pausanias at the siege of Byzantium, for instance, alienated many of the Greek states from Sparta, and led to a shift in the military command of the Delian League from Sparta to Athens.
Detailed explanation-2: -The Spartans, meanwhile, were part of the Peloponnesian League (550 BC-366 B.C.) of city-states. It was only a matter of time before the two powerful leagues collided. The Great Peloponnesian War, also called the First Peloponnesian War, was the first major scuffle between them.
