Achilles. Alexander the great was influenced by him so much, he borrowed his shield for good luck in battle.
Alexander the Great, King Alexander III of Macedon, fought many battles during his lifetime and won almost all of them. Some of his biggest were; Battle of Chaeronea, Battle of the Granicus and the Battle of Issus.
Alexander the Great and his Macedonians defeated the Persian armies of Darius III at Gaugamela.
I know that the first war he fought in was The Battle of Granicus during May in the year of 334 BC! It was between Alexander and the Persian Empire! Hope this helps! =D
No, Issus was fought by Alexander the Great against Darius III in Southern Anatolia, two generations later.
Battle at the Granicus River, Battle of Issus, Battle at Gaugamela
WWI's biggest sea battle was fought between Great Britain and The German Empire (in the sea to the West of the Danish Peninsula Jutland - otherwise it had nothing to do with Jutland). http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Battle_of_Jutland
Alexander the Great won the battle of Chaeronea for Macedon. His strategy and his leadership of the troops helped win the battle.
The Battle of Jutland occurred during the First World War and was fought between the UK, Canada, and Australia on one side, and Germany on the other. The battle was fought from May 31 to June 1, 1916.
The Battle of the Granicus River in May 334 BC was the first of three major battles fought between Alexander the Great and the Persian Empire. The Battle of Issus occurred in southern Anatolia, in November 333 BC. The Battle of Gaugamela took place in 331 BC between Alexander the Great and Darius III of Persia.
Three major battle sites where Alexander the Great fought the Persians include the Battle of Granicus in 334 BCE, where he secured his first significant victory in Asia Minor; the Battle of Issus in 333 BCE, which showcased his tactical brilliance against the larger Persian forces; and the Battle of Gaugamela in 331 BCE, where he achieved a decisive victory that led to the fall of the Persian Empire. These battles were crucial in establishing Alexander's reputation as a formidable military leader.
The Battle of Thebes, fought in 335 BC, was won by Alexander the Great's forces. After a siege, Thebes fell to Alexander, leading to the city's destruction as a warning to other Greek states. This victory solidified Alexander's power and helped him establish control over Greece following his father's death.
