		"The Athenian Empire grew because no one really wanted to stop it." The Athenian Empire became the dominant power in Greece and the Aegean between 478 and 445 BC because the states who could have defeated her saw more reason to ally themselves with Athens than to oppose her.
		The rise in power of Athens can be attributed to manipulation of the Delian League and brute force on her behalf and lack of unification and ability to fight a common enemy on the behalf of her weaker allies.
