Alexander's Empire:

Philip II: Dreamed of taking control of Greece and then moving against Persia to seize its vast wealth. Hoped to avenge the Persian invasion, in 480 B.C.

Macedonia: just north of Greece with rough terrain and cold climates. Hardy people lived there and were looked down upon by the Greeks, until Philip became king.


      359 B.C.                     Organized his troops                                                      Macedonian's defeated        336 B.C.
                                          into Phalanxes                                                                       Greece
