There were 20 provinces in the Persian Empire. What do you mean by ffive areas? North Africa, Middle East, Central Asia, what else? Some fringe bits in Thrace and the eastern Mediterranean Islands and today's Pakistan?
Greece and the Persian Empire.
Alexander the Great conquered the Persian Empire, but he did not conquer 'most of the world' - he did not get near east Asia, he did not conquer Europe, he did not conquer most of Africa, he had never even heard of North and South America or the Pacific. Addition: The typical expression is that Alexander the Great conquered "most of the known world" meaning that the majority of the areas that he did not conquer were not civilized at that time. Further: Alexander wanted to take India, but his army refused, and is recorded to have planned on moving through Europe, with Carthage and north Africa, Italy, Sicily and Spain as targets. Even he did not think that he had conquered 'most of the known world'.
Napoleon established a monarchy in the areas he conquered and added to his empire.

Alexander's soldiers spread the Greek style of sculpture in the areas they conquered. They also made Greek a widespread literary language in the Middle East and Egypt.
When Alexander the Great of Macedon conquered the Persian Empire in the 300s BCE, the Greek language spread across the Middle East. Greek language was eventually superseded in some areas by Latin and finally overtaken completely by the Arabic language during the Islamic conquests.
Alexander first had to conquer the empire to rule it. By the time he had finished the conquest, he died. So we would have to imagine what he might have done if he had lived to fully implement the areas he had already begun - to Hellenise the empire as a civilising influence on society.
Satrapies (Provinces).
Provincial governers in the Persian Empire were styled "Satrap" and the areas they ruled, "a Satrapy"
Asia Minor.
No Roman emperor wanted to conquer the lands that Alexander the Great had conquered. The Roman conquests in areas which Alexander had conquered occurred during the period of the Roman Republic, before the period of rule by emperors and before there were Roman emperors. These various conquests, which occurred at separate times, had nothing to do with a desire to conquer Alexander's former territories.
