Answer to Question #291762 in History for ERIC

Question

Address the question of how Greek democracy ended.

Answer 1

Philip's decisive victory came in 338 BC when he defeated a combined force from Athens and Thebes. Democracy in Athens had finally come to an end. The destiny of Greece would thereafter become inseparable from the empire of Philip's son: Alexander the Great. But this Golden Age was short-lived, and after suffering a considerable loss during the Peloponnesian War, Athens, and the rest of Greece, was conquered by the kingdom of Macedonia in the 4th century BC, leading to the decline of its democratic regime.
