Detailed explanation-1: -In 338 B.C.E., King Philip of Macedon invaded and conquered the Greek city-states. Philip took advantage of the fact that the Greek city-states were divided by years of squabbling and infighting. Philip succeeded in doing what years of fighting between city-states had not done.
Detailed explanation-2: -How did Philip II maintain power over the Greek city-states? He required soldiers to live in Greece. He used bribery and threats to control Greece. He developed alliances with local Greek leaders.
Detailed explanation-3: -The real cause of this war, of course, was not revenge, or Philip’s greed, or his attempt to create peace in Greece by uniting it against a common enemy. The deepest cause was the lack of internal structure of his kingdom. As noted above, Macedonia had to expand or implode.
