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.
It attempted to bring peace and progress in a large area from Egypt to Central Asia, building on the efforts of its predecessors, the Assyrian and Babylonian Empires.

The attempted to bring peace and prosperity to the peoples living within it's Empire, stretching from Libya to Central Asia. They were largely successful, but the ambitions of Macedonia brought it to an end after two hundred years when Alexander the Great conquered it and turned it into an empire of his own and his successor generals divided it amongst themselves and waged war on each other.

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).

Their effect was to bring the upper classes into line, but the masses kept their own culture.
