Alexander the Great

All the world except North Africa, the Middle East ad Central Asia.

Yes, after the assassination of his father King Philip. His elder brother had been disabled by a poison attack.

The troops of Alexander the Great confronted elephants in the battlefield for the first time at the battle of Issus and won although they were unknown to them. They also won the elephant army of the Indian King Porus at a high cost of lifes.

Medieval people loved to tell and hear stories about Alexander the Great.

At one time in the Middle Ages, there were poetry cycles that dominated secular literature to a degree.

One of these, called the "Matter of Britain," was about King Arthur and his knights; this one has had continued popularity even to the present day.

Another, called the "Matter of France," was about Charlemagne and people associated with him. The Song of Roland is part of this cycle.

The third was called the "Matter of Rome," and was mostly about Alexander the Great. At one point, it was about as popular as the stories about King Arthur.

I know Alexander had nothing whatever to do with Rome, but this is what they did, and I am not making it up. I guess their sense of history was not the same as ours.

When Alexander was alive he was the sole leader and king (greeks never used the title emperor). After the death of Alexander his empire was divided to his generals (mainly : Seleukos, Antigonos,Ptolemaios,Kassandros,Lysimachos)

Yes, Alexander the Great did become emperor. He was already the son of a king and when his father died, he inherited his power and a powerful military, which he used to create his vast empire.

Alexander the Great was able to build such a large and expansive empire because of his warfare strategy. Alexander the Great was able to defeat any enemy that crossed his path, which allowed him to conquer all of the countries he entered and add them to his empire.

A good childhood varies from one person to another. Generally, this entails having the basic needs of life met without any hardships like food, clothing, shelter and education among other things.

His generals divided the empire amongst themselves, forming several separate kingdoms at odds with each other over boundaries.

Hellenistic refers to Hellenism - Greek culture. Alexander the Great, on capturing the Persian Empire, tried to introduce Greek culture as a way of civilising it according to his viewpoint. On his death his generals split up this empire amongst themselves as kings. They introduced a veneer of Greek culture amongst the upper classes of their kingdoms, but the lower classes continued on their own cultures.

We today call them Hellenistic (like Greek) rather then Hellenic (Greek) as they were superficially like Greek, but not fully so.

When Philip died, the people in the Greek city of Thebes rebelled. Alexander attacked Thebes and enslaved the Theban people. He used Thebes as an example of what would happen if any other Greek cities rebelled against him. Alexander went on to defeat the Persians time after time and to conquer Egypt. He became ruler of what had been the Persian empire. Before his death at 33 years of age, Alexander the Great (as he came to be called) had built an empire stretching from the Adriatic Sea west to India and to the Upper Nile in the south.

By first capturing the coast of the eastern Mediterranean, he was able to eliminate the threat of a Persian counter-invasion of Macedonia and Greece by sea. He was then able to concentrate on land campaigns where his armoured soldiers could more than match the unarmoured Persian infantry.

Alexander the Great did not conquer Greece.

His father Philip II of Macedonia, with his son Alexander in his army, defeated the city-states of Thebes and Athens. These cities were part of the hundreds of city-states which made up the Greek world. Philip gained control of central Greece through a combination of this victory at Chaeronea and diplomacy, and used proxy votes from other cities to gain control of the Amphyctionic League and the Corinthian League to dominate the Greek peninsula. It took years of diplomacy, bribery and force for Philip to achieve this dominance and be declared Hegemon of Greece (leader, not ruler).

Alexander succeeded as Hegemon on Philip's assassination, and had to put down an uprising led by Thebes. He burnt the city and sold its people into slavery as a warning to the other cities. So you could say that it took the few weeks of this action to conquer the desire of the cities to be independent.

Alexander the Great, or Alexander III of Macedon (Alexander Karanid) did indeed have a family of his own. He was married to Roxana Bactrian Karanid and together they had one child, a son, '''Alexander '''"Aegus" '''Karanid '''IV.

Alexander the Great also had four siblings, nieces and nephews and so on.

Yes, he was in engage. But after a while he couldn't marry he because he had to much stuff on his time because of his school homework. So she maaied someone else instead. A very disappointed thing for isaac newton.

Well for the most part, most people that we think of as good in history truly were not as good as we want them to think. Some rulers did some good things but this comes at a price. Alexander the Great was good mainly because he is famous for the good thing that that he did. Did he keep his nation in fit and fighting shape yes. I know it may be long but please take a look at the following site http://www.answers.com/. just look over it and you will be able to see what he did to socity. It really isn't as easy as "Is he good or bad" question. Some historians believe that he was sick, cruel, and horrible. While others believe that he was intelligent, and incredible. Some people used to say that he was so great that he was "touched by the gods." Others stated that he had "devil horns under his long wavy hair." He did many cruel and great things. So basically the answer is, YOU decide!
