Kingdom of Macedon

Also known as Macedon

The Kingdom of Macedon was an ancient Greek kingdom in the northern Balkans. Under Philip II it became the dominant power in Greece, and his son Alexander the Great used it as the base for conquering the Persian Empire. The Macedonian Empire grew from this kingdom, which remained a separate Hellenistic state after Alexander's death until Roman conquest.
