How did Alexander respond to the Theban rebellion?

Answer 1

When Philip died, the people in the Greek city of Thebes rebelled. Alexander attacked Thebes and enslaved the Theban people. He used Thebes as an example of what would happen if any other Greek cities rebelled against him. Alexander went on to defeat the Persians time after time and to conquer Egypt. He became ruler of what had been the Persian empire. Before his death at 33 years of age, Alexander the Great (as he came to be called) had built an empire stretching from the Adriatic Sea west to India and to the Upper Nile in the south.

Answer 2

He left one of his generals behind in control in Greece when he left to take over the Persian Empire in Asia.
