King Phillip II of Greece used a new formation in defeating his enemies. What was it?
King Philip II of Macedonia (not Greece, as he was a Macedonian king) revolutionized military tactics with the introduction of the phalanx formation. This formation utilized long spears called sarissas, allowing soldiers to engage enemies from a greater distance while maintaining a solid wall of infantry. The tightly packed ranks of soldiers provided both offensive and defensive capabilities, enabling Philip to achieve decisive victories over larger armies and laying the foundation for Macedonian dominance in the region.
