Alexander the great started going into India into 326 BC. After winning a pitched battle that went to the wire against a local king Porus who used elephants, Alexander learnt there were many more Kings in India with stronger forces. Alexander wanted to fight.His army didn't. They had been freaked out by elephants. They were exhausted. They had left their home of Macedonia and Greece 8 years ago. They wanted to see their wives and children again. They didn't want to fight more battles against stronger enemies who would probably beat them. They were running low on morale. Alexander tried to persuade his men otherwise, even throwing a tantrum where he stayed in a tent for three days, but his men wouldn't budge. And Alexander the Great was forced to go back.
