Best Answer

Having subdued his opponents in mainland Greece and elected Hegemon of Greece, Phillip II of Macedon wanted to stop the Persian interference in Greek affairs and exact payback for the Persian invasions in the 5th Century BCE (and incidentally of course gain an empire). He was assassinated before he set out, and his son Alexander carried out his father's plan.
