Alexander the great and his father Phillip

today we had class and we learned about Alexander the great and his father Phillip who wanted to continue to conquer all the land. He especially wanted to conquer Persia but died before he was age to because he was stabbed at his daughters wedding. Then his son Alexander decided to pronounce himself king at age 20 which was 3 years younger than when his dad was made king of Macedonia. Alexander took on his dads role and eventually conquered Persia which was huge because overtime they battled against Persia they were extremely outnumbered but they won anyways because of the tactics of war Alexander created as in the phalanx which is the long metals rods everywhere demonstrated in class by someones project. we learned a lot more but this is the basics.
