He didn't conquer a religion, he conquered nations.
Setting out from Macedonia in northern Greece, Alexander conquered Asia Minor, the Near East, Egypt, the Middle East, Persia, parts of Afghanistan, and parts of India. He did so almost completely with a comparatively small, well-trained and equipped, highly mobile force, led by his cavalry.
Alexandria was founded around a small pharaonic town c. 331 BC by Alexander the Great.

During Alexander the Great's time, Alexandria itself was the only significant monument in Alexandria, Egypt. It was only a small village until Alexander's successors took over its development, so nothing aside from the to-be city itself was very significant during Alexander the Great's reign.
It is remarkable that Alexander the Great was able to conquer as much of the world as he did, with the military power of Macedonia, a relatively small country, and using the relatively primitive technology of the day. If your best method of transportation is horseback, the world is extremely large. It takes months to travel on horseback a distance that can be traveled by plane in a few hours. Messages had to be sent by courier, also taking months, rather than by instantaneous modern methods. This makes it ridiculously difficult to coordinate the administration or military maneuvers of a large empire.

He expanded a region of "barbarian" lands to taking all of Greece, then moving on to taking the entire Persian empire.
No. He was from another Greek city-state called Macedonia and that's why his official title was Alexander III of Macedon. Macedonia was modern day Northern Greece plus a small fraction of the country "FYROM" (Former Yugoslavic Republic of Macedonia). Nevertheless both Spartans and Macedonians had descent from the same ethne(primary tribes of Greece), the so called Dorians.
In 1861, Alexander II freed the serfs and gave them small farms.
