Alexander the Great conquered much of the known world in just over a decade. He was tutored by Aristotle and became king of Macedonia at age 20 after his father's assassination. Alexander expanded his empire by defeating Darius III of Persia in multiple battles, conquering territories across Asia Minor and Egypt. However, his troops rebelled when he tried to push further into India, forcing a retreat. Alexander died at age 33, leaving no clear heir and resulting in his empire being divided among his generals after his death.
The document discusses the rise and conquests of Alexander the Great of Macedonia. It describes how Phillip II united Greece under Macedonian rule and trained Alexander's army. When Alexander assumed the throne at age 20, he set out to conquer the Persian Empire. He achieved major victories at battles like Granicus in 334 BC and Issus in 331 BC. By 324 BC, Alexander had conquered the Persian empire and much of central Asia, but his untimely death in 323 BC prevented him from fully merging the Greek and Persian empires. Alexander spread Greek culture and established many cities, significantly influencing the Hellenistic period that followed.
