The Greek peninsula is a large landmass in southern Europe that forms the southernmost part of the Balkan Peninsula. It is surrounded by the Ionian Sea, Aegean Sea, and Mediterranean Sea. Greece is located on the Greek peninsula.

Alexander was first tutored by the strict Leonidas, a relative of his mother, and by Lysimachus of Acarnania. In early childhood Alexander was raised in the manner of noble Macedonian youths, learning to read, play the lyre, ride, fight, and hunt.

When Alexander was 13, Philip began to search for a tutor and considered such academics as Isocrates and Speusippus, the latter offering to resign to take up the post. In the end, Philip chose Aristotle and provided the Temple of the Nymphs at Mieza as a classroom. In return for teaching Alexander, Philip agreed to rebuild Aristotle's hometown of Stageira in central Macedonia near the eastern coast of the peninsula of Chalcidice, which Philip had razed, and to repopulate it by buying and freeing the ex-citizens who were slaves or pardoning those who were in exile. Many new structures were built at this time, including an aqueduct, two shrines to Demeter. and many houses.

Aristotle was born in 384 BCE in Stagira, a Greek colony in Macedonia. His father was court physician to the King of Macedonia. He likely received a early education in biology and medicine before going to Athens at age 17 to study philosophy with Plato.

There was never a Macedonian empire. There was the Kingdom of Macedon, which was the largest and the dominant state in mainland Greece.

Macedon, in the north of Greece, was developed into the largest and most powerful state in mainland Greece by King Philip II of Macedon. He created a new type of infantry formation, the Macedonian phalanx, which made use of the sarissa (a very long spear) and was superior to the traditional phalanx. He captured the gold mines of Mount Pangaion (to the east of Macedon) which provided him with wealth. He established an alliance with the kingdom of Epirus (in western Greece) by marrying the daughter of its king. He conquered Thessaly, a region which gave him control over central Greece. He destroyed the Chalkidian League, destroyed its main city and took over the Chalcidice Peninsula (just to the west of the city of Thessalonica). He subdued the Thracians who lived to the north and northeast of Macedon.

Thus, Philip took over the north and northeast and much of centre Greece and had a firm alliance with Epirus in the west. The other Greek states fought against Philip. He won, but did not take over these states. His ambition was not to take over the whole of Greece, but to unite the Greeks to form an alliance he needed for his great project; the conquest of the massive Persian Empire. He was murdered before he could accomplish this project. His son Alexander the Great carried it out.

Alexander's empire was a Greek empire, not a Macedonian one. This was because although Macedonian troops were the largest force, his army included forces from the other Greek states and his conquest was a collective Greek effort. Greek rule was shared among Greeks and members of the Persian aristocracy. Moreover, Alexander's empire broke up within a few years, when he died young. His generals fought wars over its partitioning. Eventually, his conquests were divided into three Greek-ruled states: the Kingdom of Pergamon, the Seleucid Empire and the Ptolemaic Kingdom. The Kingdom of Macedon remained as it had been before and continued to be the largest and the dominant state in mainland Greece.

he underlying cause of the war was Sparta's fear of the growth of the power of Athens. This is Thucydides' own final judgment. The whole history of the rise and power of Athens in the 50 years preceding justifies this view, though the immediate occasion of the war concerned Corinth, Sparta's chief naval ally. Since the peace of 445 B.C. Pericles had consolidated Athenian resources, made Athens' navy incomparable, concluded in 433 B.C. a defensive alliance with the strong naval power Corcyra (Corinth's most bitter enemy), and renewed alliances with Rhegium and Leontini in the west. The very food supply of the Peloponnese from Sicily was endangered. In the Aegean Athens could always enforce a monopoly of seaborne trade. To this extent the Peloponnesian War was a trade war and on this ground chiefly Corinth appealed to Sparta to take up arms. The appeal was backed by Megara, nearly ruined by Pericles' economic boycott, and by Aegina a reluctant member of the Athenian Empire.

But if Sparta had not also been eager for war then peace would have lasted. Sparta was waiting an opportunity that came when Athens was temporarily embarrassed by the revolt of her subject-ally Potidaea in Chalcidice in the spring of 432 B.C. The rebel city held out until the winter of 430 B.C. and its blockade meant a constant drain upon Athenian military, and naval resources. Sparta seized the opportunity. Confident of speedy victory she refused an offer of arbitration made by Pericles. Instead, Sparta sent an ultimatum that would have practically destroyed Athenian power. Pericles urged the people to refuse and Sparta declared war.

Another Viewpoint:

Athens, having converted the anti-Persian alliance it led into an empire after peace was made with Persia, was overconfident and interfered in the affairs of other city-states outside its empire. Disputes over Potidaia and Corcyra came to a head when Athens imposed ruinous trade restrictions on Megara, a member of the Peloponnesian League led by Sparta. The League demanded these be lifted, Pericles persuaded Athens to be confident of its walls and war fleet and refuse, and war ensued.
