His object was to firstly conquer the Persian Empire and remove its threat to the West. He then wanted to continue east until he dominated all the land to the eastern ocean (thwarted by mutiny of his army, who had had enough). Having done this his thoughts turned west, with the object of establishing a world empire, though his death cut that short.

His subsequent object was to unify that empire culturally, and while he sponsored mass marriages of Macedonians and Greeks with Persians and others, he sought to do this unification through Greek culture. He and his successors promoted systematic hellenisation, establishing Greek-type cities an promoting citizenship along the Greek model.

[Even Jerusalem and many of the Jews were heavily hellenised, with gymnasiums, theatres, Greek clothing, and, as Greeks abhorred bodily mutilation, which became obvious in exercising naked in the gymn), it is recorded in the Book of Maccabes that there was even an operation invented to reverse circumcision.]

From my research, he was a very powerful and charismatic leader. He was also well educated at a young age - had the best teachers/educators in the world at that time eg. Aristotle the famous philosopher, although extremely ruthless in battles. Alexander the great was well known for his military strategies. He conquered many lands including Macedonia, India, Persia and Egypt. He succeeded his father as ruler and King. He was well known for close bonds with his horse, Bucephalus who lived for 15 years. As a tribute to his horse he had a city in India named after the horse! His best friend was Hephaistion.

Simply, he wanted to rule the world. He thought that it ended in the east in India, and in the west at the Atlantic Ocean. Having taken the east, he came back planning to go west to tale it over too, but died prematurely.
