Alexander, an outstanding genius general, was born in 356 BC in Pella, the capital of Macedonia. He is the son of Macedonian King Philip II and Princess Olimpiya of Epirus. Philip II attached great importance to Alexander's education, and his tutor was Aristotle, a world-famous philosopher and scientist.
Since his youth, Alexander has enjoyed traveling around the world and taking risks. He is withdrawn and always gives people a sense of mystery. In 339 BC, Philip II divorced Olympia, and Alexander had a fierce quarrel with his father and almost lost his inheritance.
In 336 BC, Philip II was stabbed to death at the wedding of his daughter Cleopatra. The assassination may have something to do with Alexander or Olympus, or it may have been instigated by the newly enthroned Persian King Darius Iii. 20-year-old Alexander was elected as the new king of Macedonia by the army. Alexander, who officially ascended the throne, formed a powerful army "Brother Army" with his childhood playmates, and gathered a large number of warriors with strong male friendship.
In 334 BC, Alexander launched a war of aggression against the Persian Empire. He led an army of only 35,000 men, surpassing the Persian army in number. But Alexander still sent a series of devastating blows to the Persian army and won the final victory. It can be proved that Alexander is an outstanding genius general and the greatest general unparalleled in the world. After this victory, Alexander led his troops into Babylon and two Persian capitals, Susa and Persepolis. After three years of bloody fighting, Alexander conquered the whole eastern Iran and continued to advance to Central Asia.
After Alexander conquered the entire Persian Empire, he did not stop there, but continued to send troops into Afghanistan and from there into India via the Hindu Kush Mountains. After a series of victories in western India, he tried to continue to March into eastern India, but as a result, he moved back to North Korea because the troops opposed the east. Back in Persia, Alexander spent nearly a year reorganizing his empire and army, which was a major reorganization. Obviously, Alexander tried to use this adapted army to conquer again. But in the end, this further conquest failed. In 323 BC, Alexander had a sudden fever in Babylon and died ten days later, when he was less than 33 years old.
Alexander is the most dramatic figure in history, and his experience and personality have always been the source of strength. He is the greatest fighter in the world. As a soldier, he is both wise and brave; As a general, he is unparalleled. He never lost a battle in 1 1 year.
As a disciple of Aristotle, he is also a man of extraordinary wisdom. He cherished Homer's poems, and his foresight was higher than that of most Greek thinkers at that time. He is also a popular leader, who often gives meticulous care, love and comfort to the defeated enemy. But he is also a cruel tyrant. He is extremely selfish, and he will kill his best friend for his own selfish desires. The most important influence brought by Alexander's conquest was to civilize Greece and the Middle East, and people began to communicate closely with each other, thus greatly enriching the cultures of these two peoples. He also spread the influence of Greece to India and Central Asia, which he had never been to before and had a far-reaching impact on culture.
In the west, Alexander ranks first among the four great military men, followed by Hannibal, Caesar and Napoleon. We can see how important Alexander is in the eyes of westerners.
