Previously, we have covered Alexander's conquest of Persia ( • Alexander of Macedon -... ) and his campaign in India, as well as his reforms, plans and death ( • Alexander: Indian Camp... ). In the aftermath of his death, his generals - the Diadochi, started dividing his empire during the Council of Babylon and deciding who will rule the empire.

To the west, the Greek city-states led by Athens rebelled against Antipater, leading to the Lamian War, while in Asia, Ptolemy famously stole Alexander's body, striking one of the first blow of the coming war ( • Lamian War - Greeks Re... ). This led to the First War of the Diadochi in which an alliance led by Perdiccas and Eumenes faced the alliance led by Antipater and Ptolemy at the battles of Camel's Rampart, Hellespont, Orkynia and Cretopolis in 321-319 BC, which Antipater and Ptolemy won, dividing the empire again during the Partition of Triparadeisos ( • First War of the Diado... ), which in turn led to the Second War of the Diadochi, the battles of Coprates river, Athens, Megalopolis, Gabiene and Paraitakene, the end of Eumenes, as well as Philip III Arrhidaeus and Olympias.
