Alexander the great had to give up his campaign primarily due to the exhaustion and mutiny of his troops, who were weary after years of continuous warfare and far from home. After reaching the Indus River, his soldiers expressed a strong desire to return to their families, fearing further military engagements. Additionally, the challenges of managing a vast empire and the logistical difficulties of moving further into India contributed to his decision to turn back. Ultimately, Alexander recognized the limits of his army's endurance and chose to prioritize their well-being.
