Alexander the Great

Under King Phillip II, who was replaced by his son King Alexander the Great at the young age of 20, Macedonia steadily established itself as the most prominent military force on the European continent. The most feared army in history was led by Alexander the Great, who used it to carve out a sizable empire for himself. He overthrew the Persian Empire before advancing into Egypt and India to establish himself as the undisputed ruler of monarchs. He was ultimately destroyed, leaving a legacy of tyranny, divinity, and bravery.

He received education from Aristotle in politics, biology, philosophy, and medicine. Along with his boldness, his talent was unmatched. There was no one in the realm who could have tamed the horse his father brought in, a horse by the name of Bucephalus. Only Alexander, with his aptitude for deduction, was able to saddle it and ride it about. His youthful pranks gave the impression that he was invincible.

Alexander left Macedonia in 334 BC with a 400,00-man army. He was intent on claiming all of Persia, which he believed to be his rightful inheritance from the Gods. While Alexander launched an attack from the center, his warriors divided the Persian forces. After the acquisition of Persia, he was welcomed as the King of Asia. Before taking over India, he seized Babylon and Persepolis as well. When he started to pursue the entire continent, he succumbed to the desert's heat, developed an incurable illness, and passed very shortly after. These are some of the factors that led Alexander of Macedonia to become Alexander the Great.
