Editing 341 BC (section)

=== By place ===
==== Macedonia ====
* [[Philip II of Macedon]] completes his annexation of [[Thrace]]. This is regarded by [[Athens]] as a further threat to the city's safety.

==== Greece ====
* [[Demosthenes]] delivers his [[Third Philippic]]. In it, he demands resolute action against Philip II.  Demosthenes now dominates Athenian politics and is able to considerably weaken the pro-Macedonian faction led by [[Aeschines]]. As a result, Demosthenes becomes controller of the Athenian navy.
* A grand alliance is organised by Demosthenes against Philip II, which includes Byzantium and former enemies of Athens, such as Thebes. These developments worry Philip and increase his anger towards Demosthenes. The [[Athenian Assembly]], however, lays aside Philip's grievances against Demosthenes' conduct and denounces the [[Peace of Philocrates]] which has been signed by both sides in [[346 BC]], an action equivalent to an official declaration of war by [[Athens]] against [[Macedon]]ia.

==== Roman Republic ====
* The [[First Samnite War]] ends with [[Roman Republic|Rome]] triumphant and the [[Samnites]] willing to make peace.<ref>{{cite book | url=https://archive.org/details/samniumsamnites0000salm/page/198/mode/2up | access-date=February 24, 2024 | pages=198{{endash}}199 | first=E.T. | last=Salmon | title=Samnium and the Samnites | place=Cambridge | publisher=Cambridge University Press | year=1967}}</ref>
