How did Alexander the Great win the support of the people whom he conquered?

Answer 1

Alexander is famous as an immensely brave, adventurous, and decisive leader. It is said that his character was so inspiring and attractive that men were quick to commit to his goals and proud to put their fate in his hands. He had natural charisma and the courage to confront any danger he asked his followers to stand up to.

He was said to be physically impressive - quite short but notably handsome and very well proportioned. He was intelligent, a cunning and inventive military tactician, and had unshakeable self confidence. He was charming but ruthless in pursuing his aims. He could also be compassionate and capable of notable acts of mercy.

Alexander had his faults, especially as his health weakened. However, at his peak he was an unmatched leader of men, held in god like status by those who helped him conquer and rule much of the known world at that time. His accomplishments stand above and beyond history's other great leaders, people like Napoleon, Caesar, Churchill, Nelson, and Khan. His methods are studied by military strategists to this day and it is unlikely a single person will ever be as influential in the field of global combat again.
