How did Hellenistic culture start?

How did Hellenistic culture start?
By: Carolyn Hernandez and Badr Alafif

Hellenistic Culture is a combination of cultures conquered by Phillip II and his son Alexander the Great. Phillip II conquered Greece; in his daughters wedding he was stabbed by his guard. Leaving his son Alexander the great to continue where he left off. He conquered Egypt so he can feed his people. The wheat growing from the Mediterranean contained much food. He later conquered India, and all Persian culture. He used special weapons to get through the castles. Each of his city-states had a small army. They fought and brought Egypt, Greece and Persia and created a Hellenistic culture.
