The greek kingdom of Ancient Macedonia came into power after a catastrophic civil war between the city states of Athens and Sparta. King Phillip the 2nd embarked on a campaign which managed to bring most of the greek city states under his control. This took place in the years 350B.C. to 336B.C. The basic purpose was to launch an even greater campaign to the depths of Asia, in order to punish the Persians for invading Greece nearly 150 years ago. Phillip managed to bring all city states under his control apart from Sparta and the island of Crete.
