Question: How did the Macedonians react to the death of Alexander?

After Alexander... The death of Alexander the Great brought on conflict among territories he had conquered… Nearly all the noble Susa marriages dissolved, which could demonstrate that the Macedonians despised the idea of unification The Susa weddings was a mass wedding arranged by Alexander of Macedon in 324 BC in the Persian city of Susa The union was not only symbolic, as the new offspring were to be the progenitors of both civilizations. In actuality there never was a unity between Macedonians and Persians and there wasn't even a unity among the Macedonians Alexander's death opened the anarchic age of the Successors and a bloody Macedonian civil war for power followed

Question: If you were a Macedonian general, how would you ensure that you maintained and extended your power? Would you have… Formed an alliance with other generals? Assassinated other powerful generals to secure your position? Led an army to defeat competing troops loyal to other generals ?

Greece: Lamian War Alexander's death opened the anarchic age of the Successors and a bloody Macedonian civil war for power followed As soon as the news of Alexander's death were known, the Greeks rebelled and the Lamian War began Macedonian generals Antipater and Craterus jointly marched into Greece and defeated the Greek army at Crannon in Thessaly and brought the war to an end Greece will remain under Macedonian rule for the next one and a half centuries

Asia Minor In Asia the Macedonian commanders who served Alexander fought each other for power Macedonian Generals Perdiccas and Meleager were murdered and another Macedonian General Antigonus rose to control most of Asia… BUT his growth of power brought the other Macedonian generals in coalition against him Antigonus was killed in battle and the Macedonian Empire split into four main kingdoms - the Kingdoms of Seleucus (Asia), Ptolemy (Egypt), Lysimachus (Thrace), and Antipater's son Cassander (Macedonia, including Greece).

Decline of the Macedonian Kingdoms... The rise of Rome put an end to Macedonian kingdoms.... Macedonia and Greece were conquered in 167/145 BC, Seleucid Asia by 65 BC, and Cleopatra VII, the last Macedonian descendant of Ptolemy committed suicide in 30 BC, after which Egypt was added to the Roman Empire.
