What does your reading assignment say?
Its drwing conclusions and his father was killed in 334 BC
not 336
and alexander died in 323
That looks like 11 years.
To determine how long it took Alexander the Great to build his empire after the death of Philip II, we need to establish the timeframe of their respective reigns and the stages of Alexander's conquests. Here's how you can find the answer:
1. Determine the dates of Philip II's reign: Philip II was the King of Macedonia from 359 BCE until his death in 336 BCE.
2. Identify the duration of Alexander's reign: Upon the death of Philip II, Alexander ascended to the throne as the King of Macedonia and began his military campaigns. Alexander himself died in 323 BCE.
3. Calculate the difference in years: Subtract the starting year of Alexander's reign from the ending year of Philip II's reign to find the duration of Alexander's empire-building.
336 BCE - 323 BCE = 13 years
Therefore, it took Alexander approximately 13 years to build his empire after the death of Philip II.
