How did Alexander the great create a multicultural empire?

Answer 1

Fundamentally this statement is untrue, although Alexander did take steps towards a progressive multicultural empire, such as the amalgamation of Macedonians and Persians at Susa, his integration of Iranian and Eastern soldier in his military, and showing respect to this cultures by being seen in Eastern and Macedonian clothing, recorded by Ancient Scholarly evidence from Aristoboulos and Plato. Crucially Alexander did not live long enough to consolidate his empire, leading to it swiftly breaking up during the first Diadochi war(s) due to a succession crisis. To emphasise this point, it is seen on Antiochus' Cylinder where Seleucus I, who absorbed much of the Eastern frontier from Anatolia and Jerusalem to India, declared himself a Macedonian. His successor, Antiochus I, declaring himself Eastern predominately and disregarding his Macedonian heritage, emphasises how fickle culture can be and how Alexanders legacy of multiculturalism was a failure, i would argue due to his untimely death.

Answer 2

Alexander the great expanded his empire by conquering other places and after conquering, he would respect his concurred places. He would teach them other cultures(Greek) and if they didn't worship the culture, he would hurt them and put them into slavery under his command. Alexander wore Persian clothing to share even more culture.#rekt
