Why was Alexanders empire so short lived?
Alexander the Great's empire was short-lived primarily due to the vast territorial expanse he conquered, which made it difficult to govern effectively. His sudden death in 323 BCE left a power vacuum and a lack of a clear succession plan, leading to infighting among his generals, known as the Diadochi. Additionally, the diverse cultures and administrative challenges within the empire made it hard to maintain control and cohesion. Consequently, his empire fragmented into several Hellenistic kingdoms shortly after his death.
