Alexander the Great

He was trying to unify the peoples of the ex-Persian empire with merging his Macedonianand Greek army with the upper-classes of Persian society. This was however largely symbolic, as he also brought in Greek culture and established many cities after the Greek model to 'civilise' the Persians and other peoples within the empire.

This was fairly successful for a time until the empire began to fall apart after his death. The Hellenisation of the succeeding kingdoms his successors set up was largely confined to a veneer of the urban upper classes.

When he came to throne at the age of twenty

He had no clear heir, so his Macedonian generals took the provinces for themselves, declared themselves kings and fought amongst each other.

These we call the Hellenistic Kingdoms because they introduced a veneer of Greek government and culture within them.

Yes, Alexander did allow slavery. While the city of Tyre was under siege, Alexander sold the women and children into slavery.

Alexander the Great got his name because he became king because of the death of his father. Alexander carried on with his father's goal and became famous in Greece as a conquerer. I am in 7th grade and i'm learning about Greece.

No. Alexander the Great was a polytheist and worshiped the Greek pantheon of gods. However, he had no issue with the Jewish belief in the God of Abraham and explicitly permitted Jews to continue their faith when he conquered the Persian Empire. His successors, the Seleucids, were less tolerant than Alexander.

Additionally, there is a Related Link on Alexander's petition to the Jews not to resist the Macedonian Greek Army as it conquered the Persian Empire.

At the time, Egypt was part of the Persian Empire, but Alexander conquered it separately before turning toward Persia Major. For one thing, Egypt was revolting against Persia and welcomed Alexander as a liberator. Plus, Alexander used the wealth of Egypt to finance the campaign against Persia.

I beliveve the anwser is Democacry in Greece.

He planned to take over Sicily and Carthage, but his early death intervened, and his empire didn't go past its existing western limit of Greece-Macedonia.

King of the ancient Greek kingdom of Macedonia from 359 BCE. He seized the throne from his nephew, for whom he was regent, defeated the allied Athenian city states at the battle of Chaeronea (in central Greece) in 338 and formed them into a Hellenic league under Macedonian hegemony whose forces could be united against Persia. He was assassinated while he was planning this expedition, and was succeeded by his son Alexander the Great. Philip's tomb was discovered at Vergina, northern Greece, in 1978.

he untied it by simply cutting it in half with one stroke of his sword

His naval forces were limited, while Persia could call on those of Egypt, Phoenicia and the Asian-Greeks, meaning his base in Macedonia and mainland Greece was vulnerable (which is why Alexander targeted those provinces first).

He lacked the funds to pay his army over a long period of campaigning (he captured the Persian treasury after the battle of Issus which gave him the funds to hire more troops and pay their food for the final push on Persia).

Feeding his army and horses in a pre-motorised age was extremely difficult (which is why he timed his campaigns with the harvest seasons).

Matching the Persian cavalry superiority (which is why he established a system of linking his superior armoured infantry with his cavalry through light infantry).

Tsar Alexander III ruled Russia from 1881 (the year his father Alexander II was assassinated) to 1894 (the year Alexander III died).

most of the cities Alexander founded were named Alexandria (me!) after himself. Take the city of Alexandria in Egypt for example, Alexandria was supposed to be a cultural/ political trade route in the middle of his empire. Alexander wanted his empire to be united under a common cause

Alexander the Great from Macedonia lived a very long time before the Masonic Order was created, hence, he was not a mason.

Not - Leonidas was a Spartan Greek, Alexander was a Macedonian. However Alexander's father Philip had faked up a Greek descent from Sparta so that he could enter a chariot in the Olympic Games (which was restricted to Greek citizens only).
