He took over the Persian Empire. He didn't destroy it as he wanted it in good condition for himself.
The Aztecs did in fact have an empire. This empire was actually a very famous empire back in the day.
Apparently Alexander the Great conquered it and gave it to the local King Porus.Another view:That is the conundrum. The Persian Empire had ceased to exist by then and Darius had been murdered by his own princes. Alexander was in fact attacking King Porus to strip him of the northern Indus Valley. He allegedly defeated Porus and amazingly gave it back to him and threw in the added gift of the kingdom of his own loyal ally King Taxiles who had helped him defeat Porus. This is a befuddled story which suggests that Alexander didn't defeat Porus or conquer the Indus Valley.
That it was such a disparate empire that to control it required constant military effort. Alexander spent the next five years suppressing revolt in the eastern provinces, and left them in some disarray in his retreat to Babylon, when he chose the coastal route rather than fighting his way back through today's Afghanistan.

It didn't. It brought the South back into the Republic.
His soldiers simply refused to go any further. Alexander did not turn back to Greece by the way. He went back to Babylon which he wanted to establish as the new capital of his Empire. It was there that he died.

The dissatisfaction of his troops. He had several near mutinies because his men wanted to get back home as they had been away for so long.
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.
