As part of our ongoing series featuring historical video-maps from around the web, we present ‘The History of the Diadochi,’ by YouTube creator EmperorTigerstar.

The Diadochi were the generals and families that fought for control of Alexander the Great’s Empire after his untimely death in 323 BC and the murder of his adolescent son Alexander IV 14 years later. After a series of internal civil wars lasting 40 years, the Diadochi spawned several notable successor empires including the Ptolemiac Empire in Egypt and the Seleucid Empire in Persia. The last to survive was actually the Yavana Kingdom in present day Afghanistan and Pakistan, which remarkably survived until 10 AD.
