Presentation transcript:

Alexander the Great

Persians and Greeks Strained relationship for past hundred years. Greeks and Macedonians hate Persians for fear of conquest. Culminated in Persian War (Athens). Memories of war drive hatred.

Phillip II of Macedon Three goals 1. Build a strong army 2. Unify Greek City States 3. Defeat Persia

Phillip II: Outcomes Phillip is successful at building a strong army. Phillip is successful at unifying Greece. Just when he is getting ready to invade Persia, he is murdered. Wife Olympias Persian Assassin

Alexander the Perfect Blend Appealed to Soldiers Served in fathers army Great leader Charismatic Brave Proven Winner Appealed to Aristocracy Well Educated (Aristotle) Good Bloodlines Brilliant Orator

Education of Alexander Socrates Plato Aristotle Alexander Phillip bought the best education money could buy. Instilled Alexander with the wisdom of Athens, later he will use knowledge to aid in conquering others.

Alexander Becomes King Following death of Phillip and with the help of his mother he becomes King of Macedon. Wants to fulfill fathers legacy and conquer Persians. Leads Army into Asia Minor in 334

Conquests & Battles 334 Battle of Granicus (Asia Minor) 333 Battle of Issus (Syria) Tyre, Gordium (Gordian Knot) Egypt: Establishes Alexandria Declared Pharaoh

Conquest Cont. 331 Battle of Gaugamela Defeats Darius’ army, Darius escapes but is later killed by one of his own generals. Alexander Declares himself king of Persian Empire and declares Babylon the Capital of his new empire. To Indus and Beyond…..

Conquered the River Valleys? Egypt and Nile in 332 Tigris/Euphrates in 331 Indus in 326 Troops tire of war and want to head back home before China and the Yellow river are Alexander’s….. He reluctantly heads back towards home.

Death, Dying, and Divide Alexander moves his troops across 3000 miles back towards Babylon… When they reach the city a banquet is thrown in his honor. He grows ill that evening and is dead by morning at the age of 33. With no sons his empire will be divided amongst his top generals.

A Divided Empire Without Al the strong empire falls apart, literally. Ptolemy ….. Egypt Selcus ….. Modern Middle East Antigonus ….. Greece and Asia Minor
