Best Answer

Alexander had been an intricate part of Philip II's plan to free Greece from Persian yoke. After his father's assassination, Alexander picked up where Philip had left off. The rapid collapse of Persian resistance after he defeated Darius, fired Alexander's ambition to conquer the entire Persian Empire and push forward into the Indus.

His goals had not really been achieved when he stopped conquering, but his troops simply refused to venture any further from home. Alexander returned for the time being to his capital city of Babylon and no doubt would have tried to restart his campaingn a year later, but in Babylon he fell ill and died.
