Battle of Chaeronea, 338 BC ⚔️ Philip & Alexander take on the Greek Coalition 

Hey how do you do ur maps? Are they self made or are they from somewhere else?

Cheers mate perfect time during the Lockdown to get on that trial much appreciated.

Always love your stuff! Also, how is this comment two days old when this was just posted?!

Hi HistoryMarche L) Little feedback here, please don't use small word, my eye not so good to read that small word on small android phone. Use old big word like you always do on old video. Thank you. And sorry for my bad english.

What are the names of the music tracks used from Epidemicsound ?

The stars that shine twice as bright, only live half as long!

"And right over here Alexander had the idea of conquering the entire Persian Empire it's a great idea, he was great and now he's dead"

@Joakim von Anka He also died too young and didn't leave a successor behind.

wonderkid , in deed...

You mean into India, am I right?

Thank you sir. Took me months to draw all of it.

@@HistoryMarche I can't imagine the amount of work and research you invested. Keep up the good work

@@HistoryMarche Amazing!

Seriously, I was unaware how mountainous Greece really was until I saw this map. Great job!

@@williamwright9210 You'd be surprised at how mountainous the entire world is.

Haha, yeah,.

they traveled a lot, saw many fascinating places and killed a lot of interesting people.

@@schnitzel2121 😐👀

😅

Phillip had as his tutors Epaminondas and Pelopidas. That says alot.

Look who he is descended from 2 very famous family lines

Alexander - better tactically and as a battle commander. Phillip- better as strategist and politician. Phil's skills set up Alex in the best of position to wield his own attributes

@@caseyh1934 true, we saw in alexander's life that he was great on the battlefield but was lacking a good deal in his political manuvers. He frequently failed in his attempts to appease the persian nobles and his own greeks, and nearly died multiple times due to that. Furthermore he failed to properly consolidate his gains and his empire, leading to it being broken immediately after he died. He should have been slower in expanding and should have tried for more heirs, so that they could have continued his work expanding. Its possible rome might have been conquered had it been a united macedon rather than just epirus fighting them.

You mean Pip? He was a victim of great expectations.

Agree. Philip isn't talked about as much as he should be.

Also, the point I always have to make - he chose Alexanders tutor.... Aristotle! imagine the impact that likely had on history.

He was probably killed by assassin's called by Olympia

Haha, that's one way of looking at it.

@@1112viggo wtf

@@wankawanka3053 Ya know, the sacred band? 150 pair of homosexual male lover warriors who fought to impress their partner. Not everyday you see that.

@@1112viggo gay in Greek is a common thing but that sacred band really is impressive,they even defeated the Spartan. Too bad they were slaughtered to the last men by Macedonia

It would've been bad if Athens got destroyed as well. Alexander killed and enslaved the entire population of Thebes. If that had happened to Athens as well, it would've been an even worse disaster, however much it would've benefited the young, overreaching King of Macedon.

Amazing how great philip was as well

Idiots, both of them. They should have allied with Iran. They fucked their entire ethnicity into oblivion and the Persians won the war.

Alexander wanted to set example before he goes to keep fontrol of city states.

Even still he gave them a chance and they rejected it.

You mean the binoculars? Hehe.

@@HistoryMarche Man, he and Phillip were WAAYYY ahead of their time!

@spudnic88 are we winning it?

Lol

And despite the IF Macedon did beat Sparta in 331 BC. :D

Germanium It was just mostly just big words from sparta with no action to back it up. Sparta had declined so badly that even the philosophy lovers of athens would have no problems wiping them out. In fact phillip chose not to invade sparta simply because it was just not worth his time. Even alexander just to snub the spartans gave luxuries and rewards to all greeks except sparta. It was pretty insulting to be honest. Sparta was already so miserable nobody even bothered with them.

@@althesian9741 And of course Spara served as a bogeyman for most of the greeks. Even with his power dwindling it sparked lumbering fears in the heads of most of the Citystates.

Sparta was irrelevant and weak at this point.

Phillip is great and yeah there should be series about his 20 year period.

Phillip was the titan whose shoulders Alexander stood on. Phillip reformed the army. Phillip made sure it was now professional soldiers, not drafted farmers. Phillip did all of the work, expanded the nation, made reforms, setting Macedonia up, deploying the sarissa pike -all tools building up Alexander - including choosing his tutor a man you may have heard of named Aristotle.

Makes you believe the taming of Bucephalus was a true story. One extraordinary action after another until he was named general at 16

"It's over Phillip! I have the high ground!"

@@histguy101 'You underestimate my power'

@jorgan Kharn What on God's green earth are you talking about? This is in King Philip's reign not the 1800s.

I might expand on this story, especially to include more about Philip, Sacred Band, Theban hegemony etc. We'll see what the future holds.

HistoryMarche there also were some heroic battles they fought against the Spartans.

Thank you for watching.

Of the Greek city states joined forces they never would have fell! I reckon we would still be seeing Greece as a world superpower today if they weren't so petty towards each other

What a fucking joke the Greeks sold the Macedonian kingdom out to rome ushering in the first division of Macedonia to Roman client states they then became some romanised romaioi Macedonia for the Macedonians

You cant unify different ethnicities like the macedonians🇲🇰 and the greeks. Thats why the macedonian king Phillip didn't unify, but simply defeated the greeks.

@@puppetmasterk2 Macedonia is Greece.

Thank you sir. The new map design took some months to complete, but I'm happy with how it turned out, and even happier to see such positive feedback. Thanks for watching!

Thank you. It's not perfect, but at least we tried to do it with a "K" instead of a "C".

@@HistoryMarche No man it was really on point excellent work!

@@adilsoncaetano5684 thank you

I am curious about where you would draw the line between authenticity and understandability though. For example, if you used the native names for countries in the World Wars you would be talking about Deutschland, Nippon, Belgique and Österreichisch-Ungarische. While many English speakers could probably follow what you are saying, I think the majority would struggle to understand every name.

I have to agree with Zarabada here. We are in fact speaking english so it makes sense to use english spelling and pronunciation. Each language has a different way of naming other regions/countries and there is nothing wrong with that.

Alexander who?i don't who that is but i am pretty sure that name will remain irrelevant for the remaining course of history.

Is just some crazy cav commander that belives he is a god and heir to the throne of Makedonia

funny thing is most favourite kind of kebap that Turks eat is called Alexander (iskender) . There it is. That's a big acomplishment. www.diyetkolik.com/site_media/media/2019/11/01/iskender-kebap.jpg

I think that kid is going places. He might really become one of the greats one day.

low T greeks at it again

Is he saying Macedonia correctly as in makkadonia?

Thanks for the information. I'm so fascinated by the Byzantine Empire and Hellenic civilization myself. While I agree that the term ''Byzantine'' is a purely historical construct, possibly designed by Western European historians to discredit the Eastern Roman Empire, it was also necessary to give a name to the unique civilization that emerged from 7th century onwards, and Byzantine Empire helps to make that distinction. It was still the Roman Empire, but it evolved into something very distinct. Roman in military and imperial tradition, Greek in thought and language, and Christian in faith.

Macedonia is Greece Byzantine is Greece

dbo514 It wasn’t even Roman in military tradition. The Byzantine themes were totally different to the legion structure of the old Roman Empire

Hehe, that little "think bubble" is aiming to show the ego of the man. "Just Alexander?! I'm Alexander the Great!"

@@HistoryMarche great point 😂💥💖

@@HistoryMarche More like the ''ego'' of destiny.Without Filippos there is no Alexandros and without Alexandros there is no Hellas(Greece) united for the first time as it is today.And without that there is no Europe and without Europe there is no Christianity and without Christianity there is no Greek(Eastern Roman-Byzantine)Empire and without that there is no Europe and without that there is no Renaissance and without that there is no me and you and everything you see today.Alexandros was one of many man(possibly the most important) before and after him that contributed to what we see and will humanity see long after we are dead in the future until the ''job is done''(whatever that may mean, i have no idea).

Yes, never.

Thank you sir. I don't speak a word of Greek, but I tried to get some of the names correctly.

@@HistoryMarche for someone who has no idea speaking greek, you did a fairly decent job, although greek names and pronunciations are pretty hard to learn to be honest!

@@HistoryMarche all of your work is excellent but those little details in the research make all the difference. Keep up the good work.

You pronunce Makedonia as we Macedonians pronunce! Good job!

Ironic for a turk

@@dragooll2023 why?

​@bastiat the Morden world literally stand on greek study's. Which is only survived because of Alexander the Great

Thank you for watching. Yeah, I tried pronouncing Makedonia as the Greeks would, though I don't speak a word of Greek lol. Hopefully it was OK.

It still sounds "Makedonia" for Greeks, except for people who fall for slavic propaganda, cause Slavs call it Macedonia, allthought Slavs wouldn´t exist yet back then, and for another 1300 years... My mother (greek) was stunned in 1967, during a trip in Germany, where she found out, that Slavic propaganda has worked that good, that US-Americans didn´t know that Makedonia was founded by Greeks, but supposedly by Slavs instead, althought the name is more than 1000 years older than the first existing Slavs in human history (those Slavs far-far away in Russia, and not before much later, also arriving near Greece)...

@@klausbrinck2137 we macedonians call our land makedonia not makedhonìa as greek pronunce. Macedonia is in english! Better informe about this!. He pronunce makedonia as we pronunce with normal d and acent on the letter o Makedònia!

@@Makedon9 Makedonia is a Greek word & Greek Region! CRY SLAV 🤡🤣

Yep, the "definition" of the Sacred Band is up for debate. In a nutshell, it's either A) an actual small elite unit made up for male lovers (not impossible at all), or B) a unit with mature soldiers training their "favorites" who are young boys. The problem is mostly in translation of certain words from Greek that creates confusion. In all, my personal opinion is that we can't know for sure which of the two Sacred Band was, perhaps even a mix of A and B.

Thebans were sworn enemies of Athenians for centuries. All the sources we have about the sacred band come from athenian sources. It is like germans won the WWII and 2k years after we have only german descriptions of the allies. Athenians called Boiotia the land of the Thebans , " Land of the cows. This is not a definition just for the cows but for the people themselves" .Meaning all thebans were cows. This is how much the "liked" Thebans..

@@HistoryMarche No it is not up for debate. There is a concensus among the historians that they were indeed male lovers. The only opposition comes from ultra conservatives whose interpretation of manhood and homosexuality is challenged by it.

@@baldpdeng2035 nope. homosexuality was against the law. to openly say they were lovers would probably not have been a super easy feat. The Athenians calling them lovers would have just been an insult thus the lack of consensus on the matter.

All this work and now a clueless Turk is messing around in that Anatolia today :)))

@@AP-qs2gx It has seen worst days.

They're called Laconisms, a name given by the region around Sparta :)

If Spartans were at Cheronea they'll be destroyed. Remember they were already defeated by Thebes at Leuttra
