Babylon

People don’t really know how Alexander the Great died. It is said that there is a Royal Diary that says all the stories but nobody is really sure. The one way that he died that everybody has heard about was that he was sitting up late on night with his friends. As usual Alexander was drinking a lot. The reason he died is that one of the people at the table gave wine to everybody and Alexander’s glass was poisoned. The poison made him sick so he went to his bed to rest. Waking up the next morning he had a fever and didn’t feel well at all. He had some religious duties to attend to and couldn’t finish them because of his fever. Alexander had no power at all and a couple of days later, he died. One of the most powerful rulers in the world, murdered. 

Syria

As much as Alexander the Great concurred, he still didn’t get enough. He still wanted more. He kept pushing his army and he would never let them stop. Soon enough Alexander the Great concurred Palestine. Palestine wasn’t large at all during that time period and it was pretty easy to concur. Alexander had no barriers in his way, and everything that came in his way of concurring empires, he demolished them. Alexander the Great feared nothing and his army didn’t either. In his battles, his army would always win. They have never lost a battle. Alexander the Great was unstoppable. 

Syria was one of the greatest empires back then. It was large and the military then was very powerful. Syrians had a tough life so they would be trained very well. In 539 B.C.E Syria became part of the Persian Empire so that made it even stronger. Persia was the most powerful empire until Alexander came to demolish it. In 331 B.C.E, Alexander the great gathered his troops and surprised Persia by uniting all of Rome against them. As he destroyed many places on his way, he came to Syria. After Persia concurred Syria they became weak. So when Alexander came, he had no worries. 

This is the great kingdom were Alexander the great was born. This great place is in Greece. Alexander the great was born in 353 BCE and that was a marvelous year. Alexander grew up on this land and became strong because of his fathers trainings. Alexander would go to a hilltop and Aristotle would tutor Alexander. Alexander learned a lot from him. His father would make him fight other children and toughen him up for the future. When he was young he would play chess to develop military tactics. All of these trainings made Alexander strong hearted and scared of nothing.  

Egypt

Egypt was a great country to take over. Alexander was on a role of winning and he had a strong heart and was very brave. He didn’t think he would lose and he was right, he didn’t. It was dangerous to walk through the pyramids because people would ambush them all the time. Alexander never had many men but he was always undefeated. Alexander wanted more land, so he went to Egypt and dominated. He killed the people and destroyed monuments. All of this happened in 332 B.C.E. Alexander killed about 6,000 people because of the rebellion in Thebes.

Iraq

Alexander had already been at war with the Persian Empire for three years when he entered Iraq. Darius the second was in charge of Iraq and Iran and many more. Alexander had many enemies but he hated Darius the most. Alexander the Great entered Iraq from the north (which is now Syria) and marched for a long time with his army of 50,000 men. Alexander’s main goal was to concur Babylon and that was exactly what he was going to do. Darius was waiting for him there with an army of 1 million men. No matter how many men Darius had, Alexander still dominated.

India

India was a very powerful empire back then. Their troops were specifically chosen and they had animals when they went to war (elephants). When Alexander went to fight India, the Iranians reinforced him forming an alliance. Their army was now much bigger and stronger. In 326 B.C.E, he defeated the prince of India. The fight was very gory because elephants were stepping on people and the Indians were experts in the art of the bow and arrow. Alexander's horse, Bucephalus, was wounded and died on the battlefield. Alexander loved his horse so much that he named a city after it. Alexander had now concurred India.

Persia

Persia was the largest empire known to the world back then and was undefeatable. The Persia Empire was 10.7 million square kilometers. One of the reasons why Alexander was so great because he concurred and defeated Persia. No other ruler could concur Persia because of its massive size and army, but when Alexander was in charge, he demolished the Persian Empire. Persia never had a strategic army, but they had massive amounts of people in it. Alexander was a smart man but he had on 35 thousand men. he thought he had no chance. Alexander traveled to Persia by ships. The Persian Empire ignored them. Little did the Persians know that they were surrounded by Macedonians. Persia was ambushed and Persia was then defeated. Alexander got in control.
