Four distinct kingdoms emerged into independence following Alexander's death and the break-up of his unified empire. Macedonia, Alexander's home region, retained its position as ruler of Greece and closely surrounding areas. The Ptolemaic kingdom encompassed most of what is now Egypt. The Pergamons controlled most of what is now modern-day Turkey (Asia Minor) and other areas adjacent to the Black Sea. The Seleucids ruled the largest portion of the former empire, from the Middle East through the Near East and almost to the borders of modern-day India.
