Philip had to expand the power of the throne or be devoured: the creation of a powerful army was imperative. When his son Alexander inherited his kingdom at the age of 20, he also inherited a truly unrivaled army. The Macedonians were battle veterans, well-equipped, and eager to conquer. Add to this Alexander's supreme gifts as a military commander, and it's no wonder they achieved so much.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eNicholas Sekunda\u003c\/strong\u003e was born in 1953.
