Best Answer

He tried by establishing 70 Greek-style city-states, hoping Greek culture would be unifying, ignoring the fact that Greek cities were notorious for endless fighting amongst each other.

He married his senior Macedonians to Persian upper class women, hoping for a new unified breed of ruling class, but the Macedonians did not regard the progeny as equals.

He established Persian units within his army.

He promoted Greek language , but this persisted mainly at a commercial language.

Alexander died early and his generals divided his empire amongst themselves, forming separate kingdoms. The Hellenisation was superficial, confined to the ruling class - the remainder of the various peoples maintained their traditional cultures and languages.

How did the conquests of the Alexander the great changed the cultures of the conquered lands?

Alexander tried to introduce Greek culture which he regarded as 'civilising', establishing over 70 Greek-style cities to help this process (modestly naming them Alexandria after himself). His early death interrupted the process. His general who succeeded him established their own kingdoms (the Hellenistic kingdoms) from his empire. Their effect was to bring the upper classes into line, but the masses kept their own culture.
