Alexander the Great

Alexander was defeated by Chanakya, the shrewd Indian politician who got a young boy (future King) Chandra Gupta trained by Greeks and made the same man (chandra Gupta) lead an united Indian Army of 300000+ soldiers. Greeks did not fight, they ran for their life back towards Iraq. Indian did not chase them back to Baghdad because the rest of the world was not civilized in 300 BC according to Indian standards.

ALEXANDER THE GREAT is the Macedonian leader who is considered one of the greatest conquerors in history. It should be made clear, though, that Alexander the Great was a Greek Macedonian, as opposed the modern Slavic Macedonian population.

about 70 cities were named after Alexander the great

No - his soldiers revolted and after 10 years of campaigning, wanted to return home. It was just as well, as the rising Indian emperor Chandragupta was expanding west and would have annihilated him.

He died at the age of 33. His generals divided his empire amongst themselves, forming separate kingdoms.

No he did not war pants! they were not invented yet..

He expanded a region of "barbarian" lands to taking all of Greece, then moving on to taking the entire Persian empire.

Hellenization, but now you have to do some research instead of lying on your bed and expecting someone else to do your schoolwork for you.

For success in life:

1) be cured of idleness or else you WILL fail.

2) throw yourself into your work or else you WILL throw your life into the DUSTBIN!

Of course he did, he may have been great but he wasn't perfect. During a drunken argument he killed his officer and loyal friend Black Cleitus, a man who had saved his life.

i believe he was 19 when he conquered the world.

Alexander the Great

Alexander's generals split his empire between them. These became known as the Hellenistic kingdoms, which remained dominant until progressively absorbed into the Roman empire.

Firstly, without the seasoned veterans and the dominated Greek Empire Philip, his father gained, Alexander would have had much less of a chance to go to Persia for his revenge war. He probably would have had to do what Phillip did for him and assert control over Greece, especially thePeloponnese. Secondly, Alexander's divine heritage (allegedly son of Zeus) gained him respect along with his burning ambition and meglomanic attitude that was seen as heroic spirit. Thirdly, Alexander did not value worldly goods over his legacy or the goals he was trying to accomplish; therefore he allotted much of the crown lands to his soldiers and often was generous with his gift-giving to friends and those who showed him particular heroism; these attributes made his men much more eager to follow him. Lastly, Alexander showed the mettle of a true Homeric Greek hero: Kleos, Arete, Time and Aidos. He took after Achilles (kept The Iliad under his pillow) and therefore earned incredible respect. His conquer-as-you-go approach to the Persians as well as his fair treatment and assimilation with them also helped, although this made him unpopular with factions of his army and resulted in assassination attempts and the death of Cleitus the Black. For more, see Plutarch; Nine Lives, Alexander, Diodoros, Appian and Bosworth.

The only pharaoh to be called "The Great" was Ramses the Great. Ramses II ruled from 1279 BC until 1213 BC.

He left no viable heir, and his generals grabbed parts of the empire and fought over these spoils. The residue was the Hellenistic Kingdoms ruled by dynasties descended from the most successful surviving generals.

Absolute monarchy. He was a king in fact as well as name. His word literally was the law. For practical reasons he adopted much of the administrative methods of the Persians, and relied on loyal followers to serve as rulers of different parts of his empire. But they remained in power at his sufferance. Once Alexander died, they would end up carving his Empire into competing nations.
oligarchy. his kingdom was ruled by a king. himself.

When the Roman Empire fell, the influence of Greek culture or Hellenism faded as well. The Romans had admired and supported Greek classicism and expressed it in their art, literature and architecture. After the empire's collapse, Greek Culture was preserved and kept safe for the future by the Byzantine Empire.

33 years old

Alexander was around 33 years of age when he died from malaria.

Born July 20, 356 BC in Pella, Macedon in Greece

Died June 10 or June 11, 323 BC (aged 32)

Correction my fine dimwtted friend.......

Alexander The Great was born in Macedonia because his father, King Phillip II was the king of Macedonia.

Alexander The Great died in Babylon in 323 B.C, at age of 32 and I think that he and to have to do things that he did not wont to do and he had to have sex with his mom and he did not wont to and he was gay and he was a good and best that there will be ever and he was a great and that is part of his name.

Response to previous answer: Where have you gotten your information from? There is no definitive evidence that Alexander was a homosexual. He loved his male comrads but to make such a baseless conjecture that he was gay just shows how susceptible you are to the all the rubbish that people talk about. There are also no records, to my knowledge, of Alexander having had sexual relations with his mother, Olympias. However some historians have speculated that Olympias had murdered Alexander's father, Phillip II, so her son could become king. But there is no proof of this either.

Alexander the Great died when he was 32 years old. His lifespan was from 356 BC - 323 BC.

They died from heat exposure and thirst.

Antipater ruled the Macedonia and the rest of Greece after Alexander the Great died.
