There was no war to which we give that title. Hellenistic is a modern name we give to the kingdoms created when Alexander the Great's generals split up his empire after his death.
Alexander died at the age of 32. His time as king was spent conquering the Persian Empire and was too brief for any significant other activities. This lay with his successors who created kingdoms (the Hellenistic Kingdoms) when they seized parts of his empire after his death.
Alexander the Great's generals, after his early death at age 33, divided up his empire, establishing their own kingdoms and spreading Greek culture within them. We today call these the Hellenistic Kingdoms (Hellenistic = like Hellenism)
The assault by Alexander the Great, who replaced the empire with his own Macedonian Empire. It was split up into several Hellenistic kingdoms after Alexander's death.

The Persian Empire did not exist after Alexander the Great died - it was his Macedonian Empire.An his death, his generals who were ruling the provinces converted them into kingdoms of their own (the Hellenistic Kingdoms), starting with Ptolemy in Egypt. Seleucus took Syria and to the east, while Asia Minor was taken by Antigonus.
It was progressively swallowed up by Alexander the Great, and on his death was divided up between his generals into the Hellenistic Kingdoms and given a veneer of Greek culture.
Formation of a Macedonian empire led by him, and after his early death, to the splitting up of the empire into separate kingdoms by his warring generals, which we today call the Hellenistic kingdoms.
