The Delian league was an association of city-states formed in order to defeat the Persian. The war was proven a success, so many though that the greek ciries could take advantage by this union. However, after the war was won, dissatisfaction with the league led to the Peloponnese war , mostly because Athens dominated the league and meddled in the affairs of other city-states .

The Greeks defeat the Persian army, even though the Persian outnumber them, because they surprised the Persians by crossing the Aegean sea to attack , and lead the persian to a trap, in which they had a tactical benefit over the Persian.
