Corinthian League

The Corinthian League was a federation of Greek city-states created by Philip II of Macedon in 338 BC after his victories in Greece. It aimed to unify these city-states under Macedonian leadership for mutual defense and to coordinate efforts against common enemies, particularly Persia. The league was mainly a political alliance, with member cities maintaining their independence but cooperating within a shared framework. It helped Philip establish Macedonian dominance over Greece, paving the way for his son Alexander the Great’s future conquests. The league eventually dissolved after Alexander’s empire expanded beyond Greece.
