How did the actions of Alexander the great help encourage the spread of the Hellenistic culture?
Alexander the great made Greek the common language for his empire and created cities and trade routes for travelers and settlers from Greece to introduce and disseminate the Greek culture easily.
Who is most responsible for Hellenization?
First is Alexander the Great. When he made his rapid conquest of Egypt and Persia about 325 BC, creating the largest Western empire to ever have existed, he brought Greek culture with him to all of these lands. He also founded cities based on Greek cities (such as Alexandria, Egypt), in order to further spread Greek (Hellenistic) culture. Afterwards, when the Roman Empire conquered Greece in 144 BC, they brought Hellenistic culture back to Rome and spread it throughout the empire, effectively Hellenizing nearly all of the civilized Western world.
What happen in the Hellenistic era?
During this time, Greek cultural influence and power was at its zenith in Europe and Asia. It is often considered a period of transition, sometimes even of decline or decadence between the brilliance of the Greek Classical Era and the emergence of the Roman Empire. Usually taken to begin with the death of Alexander in 323 BC, the Hellenistic period may either be seen to end with the final conquest of the Greek heartlands by Rome in 146 BC; or the final defeat of the last remaining successor-state to Alexander's empire, the Ptolemaic kingdomof Egypt in 31/30 BC . The Hellenistic period was characterized by a new wave of Greek colonization which established Greek cities and kingdoms in Asia and Africa.

Why was a new Hellenistic culture developped after Alexander's conquest?
It was one o Alexander's ambitions to 'civilise' the Persian Empire by introducing Greek culture. He began by establishing over 70 cities on the Greek model (half modestly call Alexandria after himself). This was curtailed by his early death, however his Macedonian generals divided his empire amongst them and continued a limited form of introducing Greek (Hellenic) lifestyle amongst the upper classes in the captured provinces. As it was limited, we use the word Hellenistic as it was likeHellenic culture in some ways.The mass of the peoples in the territories retained their own language and lifestyle as subject peoples.

When Alexander's empire fell apart after his death, it was divided up by his top generals into what we call today the Hellenistic Kingdoms - Macedonia, Egypt, Syria and some others which varied from time to time. The Hellenistic Kingdoms were run on Greek lines with self government for the cities and tribes within them. The inhabitants were not slaves and had freedom to run their cities as they wished, as long as they paid taxes and kept the peace.
