Alexander the Great was born in 356 BC in Macedonia and was tutored by Aristotle. He became king at age 20 when his father Phillip II was killed. Over the next 10 years, Alexander conquered the massive Persian Empire and established a huge empire stretching from Greece to India before dying at age 33 in Babylon, possibly from malaria or poison. His vast empire did not last as no single leader proved strong enough to succeed him, resulting in it being divided among his generals.

During World War I, Russia did poorly under Nicholas' leadership which caused unrest and a revolution in 1917 that overthrew the monarchy. The royal family, including five children, were captured and executed, bringing an end to the Romanov dynasty.

He was a brilliant military strategist who led his army undefeated in battle from 334 BC to his death in 323 BC at age 33. Alexander founded over 70 cities across his empire, most notably Alexandria in Egypt, and spread Greek culture and language widely. His conquests introduced ideas of absolute monarchy and significantly increased communication and trade across Asia and Europe. Alexander left a lasting legacy through the Hellenistic kingdoms that emerged after his death to divide his empire.
Alexander the Great
- Alexander the Great was a king of Macedon from 336-323 BC who conquered most of the known world at the time, including the Persian Empire and areas of India.
- He was trained by Aristotle and used innovative military tactics like the Macedonian phalanx to defeat larger Persian armies.
- By the time of his death at age 32 in Babylon, he had created one of the largest empires in history stretching from Greece to India but left no clear heir, leading to the division of his empire after his death.

Alexander the Great was born in Pella, Macedon in 356 BC and was tutored by Aristotle. He became king at age 19 after his father's death and embarked on a military career conquering Thebes and establishing Alexandria in Egypt. From 334-323 BC, Alexander conquered the massive Persian Empire and expanded his empire as far as modern day Pakistan. However, upon his death at age 33, his empire quickly fell apart due to lack of clear succession plans and leadership of his ability.
Alexander the great
Alexander the Great was king of Macedon and conquered much of the known world by the age of 30. He was tutored by Aristotle and took over the Macedonian throne from his father Philip II in 336 BC. Alexander then went on to defeat the Persian Empire in battles like Issus and Gaugamela, seizing their vast territories and establishing his rule all the way to India. Alexander died at the young age of 32 in 323 BC in the palace in Babylon from a sudden fever.
Alexander the great
Alexander the Great was born in Pella, Macedonia to King Philip II of Macedon and Olympias. He ascended to the Macedonian throne in 336 BC after his father was assassinated. In just 10 years, Alexander built one of the largest empires in the ancient world by conquering Persia and territories as far as modern-day India. However, his grand plans for further expansion were cut short by his death at age 33 in 323 BC, likely due to illness.

Alexander the Great was born in 356 BC in Pella, Macedon. He was tutored by Aristotle from age 13 and learned philosophy, medicine, and other subjects that greatly impacted him. As King of Macedon, he created one of the largest empires in history through his successful military campaigns. He invaded Persia in 334 BC and took over Egypt, reaching as far as modern-day India before his troops refused to advance further. Alexander died at age 32 in 323 BC, possibly from illness caused by excessive drinking, and his vast empire fractured into civil war after his death.
Peoples and Empires
Alexander the Great was born in 356 BC in Macedonia and was taught by Aristotle. As a teenager, he led armies that defeated rebelling tribes near Macedonia. He then became king after his father's assassination. Alexander swiftly conquered the Persian Empire through the 330s BC, defeating them in battles and destroying cities. By 327 BC, he had reached India but turned back after facing war elephants. Alexander died of illness in 323 BC at age 32 without naming a successor, ending his plans to unite Greece and Persia.

This Dissertation explores the particular circumstances of Mirzapur, a region located in the
core of India. Mirzapur, with its varied terrains and abundant biodiversity, offers an optimal
environment for investigating the changes in vegetation cover dynamics. Our study utilizes
advanced technologies such as GIS (Geographic Information Systems) and Remote sensing to
analyze the transformations that have taken place over the course of a decade.
The complex relationship between human activities and the environment has been the focus
of extensive research and worry. As the global community grapples with swift urbanization,
population expansion, and economic progress, the effects on natural ecosystems are becoming
more evident. A crucial element of this impact is the alteration of vegetation cover, which plays a
significant role in maintaining the ecological equilibrium of our planet.Land serves as the foundation for all human activities and provides the necessary materials for
these activities. As the most crucial natural resource, its utilization by humans results in different
'Land uses,' which are determined by both human activities and the physical characteristics of the
land.
The utilization of land is impacted by human needs and environmental factors. In countries
like India, rapid population growth and the emphasis on extensive resource exploitation can lead
to significant land degradation, adversely affecting the region's land cover.
Therefore, human intervention has significantly influenced land use patterns over many
centuries, evolving its structure over time and space. In the present era, these changes have
accelerated due to factors such as agriculture and urbanization. Information regarding land use and
cover is essential for various planning and management tasks related to the Earth's surface,
providing crucial environmental data for scientific, resource management, policy purposes, and
diverse human activities.
Accurate understanding of land use and cover is imperative for the development planning
of any area. Consequently, a wide range of professionals, including earth system scientists, land
and water managers, and urban planners, are interested in obtaining data on land use and cover
changes, conversion trends, and other related patterns. The spatial dimensions of land use and
cover support policymakers and scientists in making well-informed decisions, as alterations in
these patterns indicate shifts in economic and social conditions. Monitoring such changes with the
help of Advanced technologies like Remote Sensing and Geographic Information Systems is
crucial for coordinated efforts across different administrative levels. Advanced technologies like
Remote Sensing and Geographic Information Systems
9
Changes in vegetation cover refer to variations in the distribution, composition, and overall
structure of plant communities across different temporal and spatial scales. These changes can
occur natural.

How to Make a Field Mandatory in Odoo 17
In Odoo, making a field required can be done through both Python code and XML views. When you set the required attribute to True in Python code, it makes the field required across all views where it's used. Conversely, when you set the required attribute in XML views, it makes the field required only in the context of that particular view.

He spent his childhood watching his father transforming Macedonia into a great military power, winning victory after victory on the battlefields throughout the Balkans. When he was 13, Philip hired Aristotle to be Alexander’s personal tutor. Aristotle gave Alexander a training in literature and stimulated his interest in science, medicine, and philosophy, all of which became of importance in Alexander’s later life.
- 5. In the spring of 336 BC, king Philips was assassinated by a young Macedonian noble Pausanias, during the wedding ceremony in Aegae. His dream of conquering the Persian Empire now lays on his successor, his son - Alexander III. Alexander III now becomes KING of Macedonia.

Distinguishing himself, Alexander stopped the rebellion, stormed the rebel’s stronghold and renamed it Alexandroupolis, after himself. Philip’s death caused series of rebellions among the conquered nations and the Illyrians, Thracians, and Greeks saw a chance for independence. He defeated them one by one in 336 B.C., when he was only 20 year old)

Later, the entire Persian domain was under Alexander’s control. After an eight-year campaign Alexander was now ruler of a massive empire. He was keen to push further west but his men wanted to return home with their families. He then returned to Babylon in 325 B.C. His empire now is from Greece to Hindu Kush Mountains area.
- 10. Alexander died in the palace of Babylon. He was one month short of 33 years of age.
