How did the Peloponnesian War lead to the conquest of the rest of Greece by ancient Macedonia?

The war not only devastated southern Greece and left it weak, it didn't solve anything and the southern Greek city-states continued to fight each other after it was over. This left Philip, over 50 years later, with an easier target, and he was able to defeat the weakened and divided cities, which he manipulated and also defeated those who stood out against his march towards claiming hegemony of Greece.

How did this conflict encourage the expansion of Macedonia under King Philip?

After the Peloponnesian War, a defeated Athens became a second level power. The Greek cities continued their usual pattern of fighting each other under various coalitions, with at first Sparta dominant, then Thebes which defeated it. Persia intervened, imposing the King's Peace to stop the fighting spilling over into its territories.This fighting allowed the rise of Macedonia in the background. Philip II was able to secure his borders and consolidate his power in northern Greece and then turn his attention to unifying Greece for the campaign against Persia.As the eminent J. B. Bury Writes:"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. The statement that Greek liberty perished on the plain of Chaeronea is as true or as false as that it perished on the field of Leuctra or the strand of the Goat's River. Whenever a Greek state became supreme, that supremacy entailed the depression of some states and the dependency or subjection of others. Athens was reduced to a secondary place by Macedon, and Thebes fared still worse; but we must not forget what Sparta, in the day of her triumph, did to Athens, or the more evil things which Thebes proposed".

What is greater Macedonia's origin?

There is no such thing as a Greater Macedonia and in particular one that was divided. This is propaganda by the Former Yugoslav Republic whose aim is to distort historical reality and create a false impression to all those readers not familiar with Balkan history. Particularly that before the Balkan wars (1912-13) a sovereign state entity with the name Macedonia existed, inhabited by an alleged "Macedonian" ethnicity, that was attacked, defeated and consequently partitioned by the allied Greeks, Serbs and Bulgarians. However, the three areas which compose this imaginary unity, that is modern FYROM, Greek (Aegean) Macedonia and Bulgarian (Pirin) Macedonia didn´t constitute ever an ethnological, historical, cultural and linguistic united territory. Even the name Macedonia itself was not applied to the whole area (especially the greater part of today´s FYROM that lies northern of the Prilep-Strumica line). The ancient Greek kingdom of Macedonia was a Hellenic (Greek) kingdom on the northern Greek peninsula. The modern Greek province of Macedonia is a Hellenic (Greek) province on the northern Greek peninsula.
