Macedonian Empire
From Simple English Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Macedon or Macedonia (from Greek Μακεδονία)) was an ancient kingdom to the north of ancient Greece. Near it was the kingdom of Epirus (which was west of it) and Thrace (which was east of it). A long time ago it was the most powerful kingdom in the Near East after Alexander the Great conquered most of the world that was known in Europe. This was known as the Hellenistic period of Greek history.
