How did Alexander the great create an empire?

Answer 1

He captured the Persian Empire, installed a mix of Macedonian and Persian provincial governors to control it, and introduced Greek civilisation to the existing citiees and the new ones he had built.

Answer 2

Alexander the great had a military technique at his disposal that other nations of the time did not know how to do, which was the phalanx. Soldiers maneuvered in formation, holding their shields together to create a mobile wall. From the perspective of the 21st century this is entirely trivial, but at the time of Alexander the Great this was a brilliant military innovation which enabled Alexander and his armies to defeat all opponents, even when he was enormously outnumbered. Therefore he was able to conquer other nations at will, and put together a huge empire.

Another View

His military success was a factor, but simply put, the empire was already built. He simply took over the Persian Empire and made it his own.

Answer 3

He appointed his Macedonian generals to govern the various provinces.

After his death, with no clear successor, thiese generals made themselves kings of the provinces - Macedonia, Egypt, Syria etc (today we call them Hellenistic kingdoms), so his empire did not outlast him.

Answer 4

Alexander the Great was born in Macedon and in 334 BCE he invaded the Persian Empire. He first began to unite Greece under one king, as it was separated by several city-states. Through several uprisings and battles, he was able to become the generalship of Greece. After that, he used his fathers plans for expansion and planned to invade Persia. For 10 years, he fought against the powerful empire of Persia under the rule of Darius III. As for how he built his empire, he built it with his experienced, well-equipped army. His country was already strong to begin with, as he inherited it from his father when it began to become prosperous. The battles of Issus and Guagamela were the turning points in the war.
