Philip II united Greece under Macedonian Hegemony.
Philip II, king of the ancient Greek kingdom of Macedonia located in the northern Greek peninsula, united the Greek city-states under his hegemony so that he could lead a campaign to conquer Persia. Whenever a Greek state became supreme, that supremacy entailed the depression of some states and the dependency or subjection of others. As the eminent historian, J.B. Bury writes, "Athens was reduced to a secondary place by Macedon, and Thebes fared still worse; As the hegemony or first place among Greek states had passed successively from Athens to Sparta, and to Thebes, so now it passed to Macedon". After Philip II's assassination, his famous son Alexander the great would go on to conquer the Persian empire all the way to India.
