Why did Greeks rebel after Phillip's death?

Answer 1

After Philip II's death in 336 BC, the Greeks rebelled primarily due to the power vacuum and perceived weakness of his successor, Alexander the great. Many Greek city-states, feeling emboldened by the absence of Philip's strong leadership, sought to regain their autonomy and resist Macedonian dominance. Additionally, there was a desire to assert their independence and challenge the hegemony that Philip had imposed through his conquests and alliances. This rebellion ultimately prompted Alexander to respond swiftly and decisively to reassert Macedonian control over Greece.
