The Macedonian ruler who conquered the Greek city-states and formed the Corinthian League was Philip II of Macedon. He achieved this through a series of military victories, culminating in the Battle of Chaeronea in 338 BC. The Corinthian League was established to unify the Greek states under Macedonian hegemony, allowing them to cooperate in military campaigns, particularly against Persia. Philip's efforts laid the groundwork for his son, Alexander the great, to further expand the Macedonian Empire.

Why did rome conquer the greek city states?

Rome conquered mainland Greece due to having been embroiled in the instability of the area and the political conflicts and wars between Greek states, rather than a desire for or a design of conquest. Rome wanted stability in the region. When Rome conquered peninsular Greece in 146 BC, this area was not exclusively composed of city-states. It also had the kingdom of Epirus which covered the west and the kingdom of Macedon in the north and part of the centre, which was the largest and the dominant state in mainland Greece. Rome ended up conquering mainland Greece as a result of having made alliances with some Greek states during the First Macedonian War she fought against Macedon. She was then drawn into three more wars (a 2nd and 3rd war against Macedon and a war with a Greek state in Syria) because she had been asked for help by her allies during military disputes between Greek states. After the Third Macedonian War, Rome spit the kingdom of Macedon into four republics which were her client states to end the troubles this kingdom was causing in the area. A rebellion broke out in Macedon, leading to the 4th Macedonian War. At the end of this war Rome decided to annex troublesome Macedon. The Achaean league, a league of city-states in the Peloponnese, in the south, decided to fight Rome. The league lost and Rome decided to annex the whole of mainland Greece.


How were the Greeks able to conquer or changed the other countries?

There was not an empire in Greece. Greece had two kingdoms, Macedon and Epirus and a number of city-states, some of which were united in leagues, the Aetolian League and the Achaean league. Mainland Greece was conquered by the Romans in 146 BC. In 148 BC Rome defeated Macedon, the largest and most powerful state, in the Fourth Macedonian War. Two years later it was turned into a Roman province. In the same year the Greek cities of the Achaean league rose against Rome and were defeated. As a result Achaea (in southern Greece) also became a Roman province, so did Epirus (in western Greece). Athens remained formally independent as an ally/client state until 88 BC when it revolted and was subdued. The Aeolian Islands were annexed in 133 BC.
