HIST 1001 Chapter : Alexander The Great
Document Summary
Philip ii and his troubled family (father of alexander the great) A new king, and questions about his abilities. Alexander goes out in a blaze of glory. Legacy of disunity: age of hegemonies (other powers of the war try to dominate greeks) Sparta as the overlord but never firmly in control (greek doesn"t want complete control over their life almost like the athenians did) King peace 386 bc persian king the enforcer- involve persian king to back up any greek city in any attack. Control all land (ionian city states, start all of the trouble of the persian, peloponnesian war) Whatever happened to unity against the barbarian sparta give up the barbarian philosophy and agree with this king peace . Athenians didn"t like the macedon expanding its empire. It was iffy, it never develop independent city-states, but as a traditional kingdom (one king ruling the empire) Macedon smack dab in the middle of the persian war.
