Alexander the great conquered a lot of land in the north east. Here is a map of the land.
The founding of Alexandria [70 were build in his Empire]
Overthrow of the Persian Empire
Macedonian supremacy and military innovations
Greek cultural diffusion
Ethnic diversity
He established an empire in which he began to spread Greek culture. After his death, it was divided up between his generals, who continued this process, establishing the Hellenistic kingdoms, which lasted until being absorbed into the Roman Empire over the next 200 years. They were a civilizing and stabilizing influence in the eastern Mediterranean. He provided a target to which would-be prominent men aspired - to be like Alexander. Pompey the Great and Julius Caesar both wanted to emulate Alexander. This helped drive them to the conquests which expanded the Roman empire around the Mediterranean and led to the Pax Romanum. When Caesar was assassinated, having conquered the west, which Alexander didn't, he was about to embark on a campaign to conquer the east, which in total would have made him greater than Alexander. In fact Caesar was the one whom people subsequently wanted to emulate - all the Roman emperors called themselves Caesar, as did the Czars of Russia and Kaisers of Germany - both derivations of the title Caesar.
