Philip Builds Macedonian Power He is Alexander's dad, King of Macedonia He became king when he was 23(359BC) he invaded Greece and won because of his strategies and the phalanxes. He was going to conquer Persia but he died before that at his daughter's wedding 2. Alexander defeated Persia After Philip died Alexander immediately became the king of Macedonian( He was 20) When young, tutored by Aristotle, and relied on Iliad Alexander VS. Darius Alexander was outnumbered by the Darius army but won anyways. Crowned Pharaoh in 332BC. He told them he was a God Alexander marched into Egypt, the Egyptians thought of him as the liberator. His army the moved east to the Mesopotamia. Darius out numbered him again with a huge army Battle at Gaugamela...
