Best Answer

On his deathbed, Alexander was prompted to give the name of his successor - this he did not do or was unable to do. Of course there are speculations on words that he may have muttered - such as kratistos meaning 'the strongest' but it also could have been the name of one of his comrades Krateros - but this will probably never be proven. As Alexander had no legitimate heir, a regent was appointed to look after his empire, which was thus divided into different lands between several of his comrades. Therefore, the empire was no more and separate smaller empires and kingdoms were formed. For further information, look at the Seleucids, the Ptolomies and the Antigonids.
