Explanation:

In the Peloponnesian War, Athens was defeated. As a result, it was forced to surrender. The Delian League, which Athens had led, saw Sparta take over as the dominant power. Athens did not form a new alliance to defeat Sparta (it lost the war). Persian forces did not take over Athens in this context. Also, Athens did not become a dominant military power in Asia Minor after its defeat in the Peloponnesian War.

Answer:

They were forced to surrender and they were replaced as the head of the Delian League by Sparta.
