Show transcript
During the wars between Greece and Persia the north-eastern Greek kingdom of Macedon had ended up under Persian control.
Eventually the Greeks of Macedon pushed the Persians out and Alexander's father, Philip came to rule as King of Macedon.
Philip built Macedon into a powerful kingdom, convincing other city-states to join him, creating the League of Corinth.
Philip created the League of Corinth to defeat Persia once and for all, but he was murdered before he could achieve it.
Philip's son Alexander, tutored by Aristotle from Athens, was now King of Macedon and led Greece against Persia.
