Philip inherited a weak, backward country with an ineffective, undisciplined army & molded them into a formidable, efficient military force, eventually subduing the territories around Macedonia as well as subjugating most of Greece. He used bribery, warfare, & threats to secure his kingdom. However, without his insight & determination, history would never have heard of Alexander.
