Alexander the great refused a peace settlement from Darius III primarily because he sought to expand his empire and assert his dominance over Persia. The proposed terms did not align with his ambitions, as they included significant concessions that would not satisfy his desire for conquest. Additionally, Alexander viewed Darius as a formidable rival, and accepting peace would undermine his military achievements and the momentum he had gained in the campaign. Ultimately, Alexander aimed for complete victory rather than a negotiated settlement.
