 | | This change marked the end of the Greek city-states as independent actors in international politics, though they did remain the basic economic and social units of Greece. | | | By including non-Macedonians in his administration and founding colonies of Greeks wherever he went, he brought the Greek and Middle Eastern worlds into closer contact than ever before in trade, shared scientific knowledge, and cultural traditions. | | | This kind of rule disturbed Greeks, who remembered their history of freedom. |
