paragraphs on Phillip and Alexander the great


Phillip was a great leader and was able to unite his soldiers that fought every once in a while to a year round army. He managed to easily conquer other Greece states by having some better miliary weapons. He also taught his army how to properly use bows and slingshots, and teaching them an unbeatable charge tactic. when he wasn't fighting he was making alliances with other city states by giving them gold and marrying wives of those states. Lastly when the states were weak and fighting with each other, Philip would go in with his army and takeover.

After Alexander had destroyed and united all of persia and Greece he wanted to then unite them. He tried to first wear Persian clothes, then he married a Persian lady and had a few of his solders marry also. next he took solders some persian solders into his army. even after all these tactics it couldn't be fulfilled. Later he died of Malaria and when he did his empire went with him. Soon the land was split among three of his generals, and the African king reclaimed his land. Even though the Greeks left behind their tradable object the economic conditions grew worse, and with not enough workers to work the land the control soon came to the Romans.
