King Philip II of Macedon prepared an invasion but was assinated before he left. It was continued by his son King Alexander.
The Macedonians, a Hellenistic people to the North of Greece, conquered an army of Greek city-states at the Battle of Chaeronea in the Fourth Century BC. Athens and Sparta were among them, but the Greak coalition was led by Thebes which had replaced Sparta as the leading political force in Greece, just as Sparta had earlier destroyed the power of Athens. The Macedonians were well-organized, skilled at war, and led by the able king Philip of Macedon. Greece remained a Macedonian territory until the arrival of the Romans, whereupon both became Roman territory.
The Greek city-states continued to fight each other under shifting alliances for a further sixty years, with first Sparta dominating, then Thebes. They were brought under control of Macedonia by its king Philip II.
There were lots of kings of Sparta. Sparta actually was required to have two kings for most of its ancient history. I think that you are refering to Homer's Sparta. Menelaus was the king of Mycenean Sparta.
The King of Sparta was Helen's husband, Menelaus.

The story of Sparta's "If" answer comes from when King Philip II of Macedon threatened Sparta with invasion. In response, the Spartans sent a single word reply: "If." This cryptic message was meant to convey Sparta's defiance and willingness to fight against overwhelming odds. Despite their reputation for bravery and military prowess, the Spartans would eventually face defeat at the hands of Philip's forces.

Yes Alexander the Great was a king. After his father (Philip II of Macedon) was assassinated in 336BC, the throne went to Alexander.
His father drank a lot and did not consider Alexander to be a true son of his, as Alexander was born with a breathing problem. He showed little affection towards Alexander, but his mother loved him throughout his life, though he feared his mother to be the insane sorceress many believed she was. He was also raised by a mother of his friends as a nurse, and she taught him many of the values that made him the great ruler he was.
