Finally, a topic that I enjoy! :)
Okay, so the Delian League played a MASSIVE role in the creation of the Athenian Empire. When the Delian League was first created its purpose was to unite the various Greek City States such as Athens, and Sparta (The 2 most famous City States) into an Alliance to keep Persia in check and to keep the Greeks safe from another attack. The League was formed on the Island of Delos (Artemis and Apollos Birthplace and hence its name), and that was where the. Treasury and resources where kept until Pericles had it moved FROM Delos TO Athens to "Keep it safe from Persian Attack" This was the start of the Athenian Empire. Athens began using the resources and funds that other City-States provided for the Delian League to support their own defenses and navy instead of those of the other city states. Because of this Athens became an Empire which resulted in some of the other city-states such as Sparta to leave the League and to start a war known as the Peloponnesian War.  

Hope this helped :)

Describe the action of Muhammad and his followers during the first Jihad?
vekshin1

Explanation:

The literal meaning of Jihad is struggle or effort, and it means much more than holy war.

Muslims use the word Jihad to describe three different kinds of struggle:

A believer's internal struggle to live out the Muslim faith as well as possible

The struggle to build a good Muslim society

Holy war: the struggle to defend Islam, with force if necessary

Many modern writers claim that the main meaning of Jihad is the internal spiritual struggle, and this is accepted by many Muslims.

However there are so many references to Jihad as a military struggle in Islamic writings that it is incorrect to claim that the interpretation of Jihad as holy war is wrong.

Jihad and the Prophet

The internal Jihad is the one that Prophet Muhammad is said to have called the greater Jihad.

But the quotation in which the Prophet says this is regarded as coming from an unreliable source by some scholars. They regard the use of Jihad to mean holy war as the more important.
