1 gen 338 anni a. C. - Philip II of Macedonia gains control of Greece

Descrizione:

"the new power of Macedonia arose in the north. The land, extensive and generally fertile, nurtured a large population. Macedonia had strong ties to the Greek poleis, but the government there developed as a kingdom, not a democracy or oligarchy."

"n 359 B.C.E., the brilliant and cultured Philip II ascended to the throne. With decades of effort he secured the borders of Macedonia against invaders from the north, and he then launched a series of military operations in the northwestern Aegean. By clever use of his wealth and superb army, he gained control of the area, and in 338 B.C.E., he won a decisive victory over Thebes and Athens that gave him command of Greece."
