Philip II History:
Philip II (382 BC – October 336 BC) was king of the ancient kingdom of Macedonia from 359 BC until his death in 336 BC. He was a member of the Argead dynasty, the founders of the ancient kingdom and the father of Alexander the Great.
The rise of Macedonia, including the conquest and political consolidation of most of ancient Greece during his reign, was achieved through military reform (the establishment of the Macedonian phalanx formation played a key role in ensuring victory on the battlefield), extensive use of siege engines, and effective use of diplomacy and marriage alliances.
After defeating the Greek city-states of Athens and Thebes at the Battle of Chaeronea in 338 BC, Philip II led an effort to form a federation of Greek states known as the League of Corinth, with himself as the elected hegemon and commander-in-chief of Greece for a planned invasion of the Persian Achaemenid Empire. However, his assassination by a royal bodyguard, Pausanias of Orestis, led to the immediate succession of his son Alexander, who would go on to invade the Achaemenid Empire in his father's stead.
