Questions: orld History to 1450 HW20 Quarter 2 1 2 3 4 5 6 TWME REM 47:2 How did conquering the Greek city-states achieve Philip II's goal for Macedonia? He wanted to spread Macedonia's religion. He wanted Macedonia to have more power. He wanted Macedonia to have access to trade routes. He wanted to improve Macedonia's educational system.

The answer is he wanted Macedonia to have more power.

This option is not accurate because Philip II's primary motivation was not religious. His focus was more on political and military dominance rather than spreading a specific religion.

This is the correct answer. Philip II aimed to increase Macedonia's power and influence. By conquering the Greek city-states, he was able to unify them under Macedonian rule, thereby consolidating his power and creating a stronger, more centralized state. This also set the stage for his son, Alexander the Great, to further expand the empire.

While access to trade routes could have been a beneficial side effect of his conquests, it was not the primary goal. Philip II's main objective was to strengthen Macedonia's political and military power.

Improving the educational system was not a primary goal of Philip II's conquests. His focus was on military and political dominance rather than educational reforms.
