What else can I help you with?
Why were alexanders kingdoms called Hellenistic?
Hellenism/Hellenic was their word for Greek. The kingdoms which arose from Alexander's empire after his death were called Hellenistic as they were based on Greek civilisation. However this was superficial as most of the peoples in the ex-Persian territories retained their old ways - only the upper classes adopted Greek culture. So the word Hellenistic is used instead of Hellenic to indicate the partial culture 'like Hellenic'.
What cultures made up the Hellenistic culture?
It was Greek (=Hellenic, but we name it Hellenistic because it was like Greek, not full blown universal), introduced by the Macedonians into the Persian Empire after it was taken over by Alexander and split into kingdoms by his generals after he died. The culture was superficial, amongst the ruling Macedonians and Greeks - the mass of people continued their own cultures.
Who is the conqueror most responsible for the spread of Greek culture?
It was Alexander the Great. He conquered the Achaemenidenid (Persian) Empire, which was the biggest empire antiquity ever had. It covered Turkey, Armenia, Iran, Afghanistan, Pakistan up to the river Indus, Tajikistan, Kirghistan, Uzbekistan, Turkmenistan, part of Kazakhstan, Iraq, Syria, Lebanon, Palestine Jordan and Egypt. Alexander died a few years after his conquests. These were divided into the kingdom of Pergamon in western Turkey, the Ptolemaic kingdom in Egypt and the Seleucid Empire, which covered the rest. These kingdoms were ruled by Greeks and have been called Hellenistic states by Historians. This started the Hellenistic period, which was a period in which the Middle East became influenced by Greek culture. The term Hellenistic is derived from Hellas, the Greek name for Greece.
Which ruler reigned during Hellenistic age of Greece- Pericles or Alexander the Great?
Neither - the Hellenistic Age came after the deaths of Pericles, and after the death of Alexander. His successors divided his new empire amongst themselves, setting up their own kingdoms. These kingdoms had a veneer of Hellenic (Greek) culture, so we call them Hellenistic, that is a bit like Hellenic, but not fully Hellenised.

How did Alexander the greats conquests lead to the development of a new culture?
Alexander was of the HELLENIC culture, that is Greek culture. When he conquered Egypt, the Persian Empire, and parts of the Indian sub-continent, he did not just bring soldiers, he brought Greek culture as well so what happened was the cultures of Egypt and Greece, Persia and Greece, and the Indina states he conquered and Greece, fused together to become what is now known as HELLENISTIC culture. This was one of Alexander's agenda, to create a new society of Greco-Egyptians, Greco-Persians and Greco-Indians. When Alexander died and the Empire divided by his generals, Hellenistic culture reached it's peak. Many Hellenistic kingdoms emerged, Ptolemic Egypt, The Selucid Empire, the Greco-Bactrian kingdoms on where Afghanistan is now, Indian states with Greek influences and many more. This Hellenistic culture endured until around when Agustus, Emperor of Rome, conquered Egypt and the Parthians, or Sassanids (I forgot which one) conquered the former Persian Empire under the Greeks
Was it because of defeating the Persian Empire that Alexander rose to power in the Greek empire?
There was no Greek Empire. The Greek world was comprised of over 2,000 independent city-states. Alexander, king of Macedonia which was not a Greek state, conquered the Persian Empire in a 10 year campaign; he died after that. His generals divided the conquered territories into kingdoms of their own.
