Philip II of Macedon could not complete his conquest of Persia primarily due to his assassination in 336 BCE, just before he could launch a full-scale invasion. His plans were ambitious, and he had already laid the groundwork for a campaign against Persia, but his death left a power vacuum and led to a shift in focus for his successors, particularly Alexander the great. Additionally, his assassination created political instability and a need to consolidate power within Macedonia before pursuing foreign conquests.
