Why couldn't Philip complete his conquering Persia?

Philip II of Macedon could not complete his conquest of Persia primarily due to his assassination in 336 BCE, just before he could launch a full-scale invasion. His plans were ambitious, and he had already laid the groundwork for a campaign against Persia, but his death left a power vacuum and led to a shift in focus for his successors, particularly Alexander the Great. Additionally, his assassination created political instability and a need to consolidate power within Macedonia before pursuing foreign conquests.
