Second Athenian Empire

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The Second Athenian Empire was a maritime confederation of Aegean city-states from 378 BC-355 BC and headed by Athens primarily for self-defense against the growth of Sparta and secondly, the Persian Empire. It was formed after the first empire, the Delian League. However after Sparta was defeated in 371 BC, there seemed to be no reason for the confederation yet Athens did not want to give up the power so a series of revolts ending with the Social War (357-355 BC) put an end to the empire.
