→Ruler of Macedonia: Spelling, grammar, and general cleanup, typos fixed: father’s → father's
His father's death left a twenty-year-old Alexander king of Macedonia and Greece. The Greeks had no love of being ruled by anyone, especially not by "barbarians" (What they called the Macedonians who generally lacked their level of sophistication and refinement.) With the death of Phillip, they revolted believing they could easily break away from the new young ruler. They were about to become the first people to experience the depth of his military genius.

Once Alexander reconquered [[Greece]], he decided to put into action his father’s plan of conquering Persia, led by the Persian king [[Darius]]. He formed an army of thirty thousand foot soldiers, five thousand cavalry men, and engineers to build siege engines.
