Philip II during his campaign to be the leading state of Greece sent a message to Sparta saying "You are advised to submit without further delay, for if I bring my army into your land, I will destroy your farms, slay your people, and raze your city.." Sparta sent back a reply "If". Alexander and Philip stayed clear of Sparta. With much of Greece already united under his hegemony, Sparta could be left alone while he concentrated on his campaign against the Persians who had subjugated the Greek states in Asia Minor.
