 Alexander, also known as “Alexander the Great” was king of Macedon, and the son of Phillip II.

 He conquered Egypt, Persia, Syria, Mesopotamia, Bactria, and Punjab. And he was king from BC.

 He is known for creating one of the largest empires in ancient history stretching from the Ionian sea to the Himalayas. He couldn’t be beat in a battle, he is also considered as being one of the most successful commanders of all time, and is considered to be one of the greatest military geniuses of all time.

 Alexander was born in 356 BC in Pella, and was tutored by the Greek philosopher and scientist Aristotle.

 When his father Phillip the II got assassinated, he got the throne. After Phillip’s death, Alexander inherited a strong kingdom, and had an advantage of having experience in the army.

 Not only was he a good ruler, but his army loved and respected him. They looked up to him, and he was an inspiration.

 Alexander having an army, and military experience, gave him a huge advantage of his rule.  For example in 334 BC Alexander had 48,100 soldiers, 6,100 cavalry, and a fleet on 120 ships with crews numbering 38,000 gotten from Macedon, various Greek city- states, f eudally raised soldiers from different places, and mercenaries. They got the victory at the Battle of the Granicus.

 In 334 BC, he conquered Persian- ruled Asia Minor, and started a series of campaigns lasting ten years.  He overthrew the Persian king Daruis III and conquered the Persian Empire. That now stretched the Macedonian Empire from the Adriatic sea to the Indus River.

 Against overwhelming odds, he led his army to victories across the Persian territories of Asia Minor, Syria and Egypt without suffering a single defeat. His greatest victory was at the Battle of Gaugamela, in what is now northern Iraq, in 331 BC. The young king of Macedonia, leader of the Greeks, overlord of Asia Minor and pharaoh of Egypt became 'great king' of Persia at the age of 25.

 Alexander made many achievements during his life, but unfortunately died in 323 BC. He died of a fever.

 “Besides, how dared the locals resist, they were killing my men, so we had to kill them back, and kill them first. They were also deploying unfair tactics and unconventional methods, like the use of elephants.” – Alexander the Great

 After Alexander’s death, his imperialistic ways and empire did not die down. He basically had the whole western hemisphere wrapped around his finger.  He definitely had a huge impact on what Imperialism is today.
