In roughly ten years and with a small force of soldiers, he conquered the world's largest and most powerful empire which mustered troops vastly superior in numbers to Alexander's own. The conquests continued even beyond, with further success against other opponents, and included cultural conquests as well as military. Moreover, these achievements lasted for centuries.

Alexander the Great was tutored by the great philosopher Aristotle and his beliefs mirrored those of Aristotle, Plato and Socrates. This school of learning taught that truth could be discovered through a system of reasoning and though the gods were still worshiped, they were not the sole source of truths.

Alexander the Great's conquests comprised the whole of the civilized world as he and his contemporaries understood it at the time. With the Greek city-states and other portions of southeastern Europe under his control, Alexander moved through Asia Minor (modern-day Turkey), the Middle East, Egypt and other portions of North Africa, the Near East (modern Iraq and Iran), and then even farther east towards modern India. Overwhelming Persia and other powers in less than a decade, Alexander's military conquests created a new empire larger in size than any previously seen in that part of the world.
