Alexander the great became king of Macedonia in 336 BC after the assassination of his father, Philip II. He first led his troops against Persia in 334 BC, which means he had been king for about two years. This campaign marked the beginning of his conquests that would ultimately expand his empire across much of the known world.
Alexander the Great first met Darius III's forces at the Battle of Granicus in 334 BC, near the Granicus River in modern-day Turkey. In this battle, Alexander's troops faced a well-established Persian army. Despite being outnumbered, Alexander led a bold charge that resulted in a decisive victory for the Macedonians, marking the beginning of his campaign against the Persian Empire and solidifying his reputation as a formidable military leader.

I don't know if the Ancient Egyptian system counts as an Empire as such. Alexander the Great conquers Persia & other places 300 years BC..... It might be Akkadian empire sargon was the builder of the first world empire.
Philip II of Macedon planned an invasion to conquer Persia but was murdered shortly before the invasion began.
Media, which it first dominated, then used it to support its expansion.
Persia
He ruled Greece first, then Persia and Syria and Egypt too.
In ancient times, Alexander the Great's success in taking over Persia can be accounted for in several ways. First, he was a tactical genius who was also daring, energetic, and masterful at inspiring his troops to perform at their best. Second, his troops were superbly trained, they were experienced, and both individually and as a group they were superior to their Persian opponents. Third, his Persian opponents were poorly led and had little reason to make sacrifices for the sake of the empire which they were asked to defend.
