Macedonian Dynasty

This timeline explores the possibilities of Alexander the Great having an heir who started a dynasty and kept his empire together.

Conquests and Children - Alexander the Great
Alexander's father, Philip II, was assassinated in 336 BC and Alexander became King of Macedonia. He was very ambitious and began his first conquest in 334BC of the Athens-Sparta alliance, which was founded in his father's rein to defend Greece from the Macedonian threat. After sacking Athens a year later, he set his sights to finally defeating Persia, Greece's greatest enemy. After successive victories at Troy, Anayar and Istafan, Persia sued for peace in 331 BC. Alexander took a large chunk of the Persian Empire, but he then set his sights on the jewel of Persia, the ancient kingdom of Egypt. Egypt was invaded in 330 BC and Alexander was proclaimed Pharaoh two years later. In the invasion he finally killed the ex-king of Persia, Darius III.
