Kings and Generals animated documentary series on the history of Ancient World and Ancient Greece continues with the first video in the wars of the Diadochi - successors of Alexander of Macedon. Previously, we have covered Alexander's conquest of Persia ( • Alexander of Macedon - Conquest of Pe... ) and his campaign in India, as well as his reforms, plans and death ( • Alexander: Indian Campaign, Reforms, ... ). 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. Meleager's coup attempt failed and he was killed. 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 Rebel Against the... ). 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 Diadochi - Alexander... ), 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 ( • Battles of Gabiene and Paraitakene - ... ). Initially, the winners were in accord, but at some point, new alliances formed with Antigonos on one side and Ptolemy and Seleucus on the other, leading to the Third Diadochi War and the battle of Gaza of 312 BC ( • Battle of Gaza 312 BC - Third War of ... ). For Seleucus, this morphed into the Babylonian war, as he had to defend against Antigonus during the sieges of Babylon and the battle of 25 Abu ( • Babylonian War - Diadochi Wars Contin... ). As Ptolemy was trying to expand into Mediterranean, the clash with the Antigonus became inevitable, leading to the Fourth War of the Diadochi and the battle of Salamis ( • Salamis 306 BC - Diadochi Wars Ancien... ) and Rhodes.
