1. Philip the second was a king of Macedonia that organized the army and invaded Greece. Macedonians considered themselves to be Greeks, but the other Greeks looked down on them as uncivilized foreigners. Philip's son Alexander conquered the Persians, but died before he could truly unite his empire. Darius III was the Persian emperor that lost to Alexander and fled from every major battle.
3. Philip the second was able to conquer Greece due to the Greeks not preparing to go to war, and the city-stated being unable to cooperate with each other.
4. Alexander wanted to expand his empire instead of governing it, so he continued into India, and later turned back.
5. Alexander's empire was split between three leaders, Antigonus, Ptolemy, and Seleucus
