Philip II became ruler of Greece through a combination of military conquest and strategic diplomacy. After unifying the Macedonian tribes and strengthening his army, he began a series of campaigns against the Greek city-states. His decisive victory at the Battle of Chaeronea in 338 BC effectively subdued the major Greek powers, allowing him to establish the Corinthian League, which united Greece under his leadership. Philip's diplomatic marriages and alliances further consolidated his influence, making him a dominant figure in the region.
