Philip II was able to conquer Greece because he was able to organize
his troops into phalanxes of 16 men deep and across. Each of them was armed
with an 18-foot pike. Philip II used this extreme phalanx formation for them to
break through their enemy lines. After that, he used his fast-moving cavalry in order to crush his
disorganized enemies.
