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.
