Alexander led a siege for 7 months, finally conquering Tyre in July 332 B.C.E; then moved further south taking over Gaza then Egypt; then turned northeast conquering Palestine…this was an 8 year campaign

Political:
Alexander the Great had similar political strategies, when it came
down to the practice of democracy as well as ambitious plans for major military conquests. As far as Alexander the Great was concerned the practice of democracy would only be promoted or indeed restricted when it suited Macedonian interests to do so. If the practice of democracy made no difference to whether or not his political and military objectives could be achieved there was no need to alter how it operated within the Greek city-states. The practice of democracy was not at the top of Alexander the Great’s political, dynastic, and indeed his military agendas. To achieve his highly ambitious military objectives in reality would entail that he concentrated all the available political power and therefore military power into his own hands rather than dilute his authority through the practice of democracy. Alexander the Great was able to carry out his policies due to his military prowess, “the more a king conquered, the more secure his personal kingship became.”Read more: http://socyberty.com/history/what-was-the-impact-of-alexander-the-greats-rule-on-the-practice-of-democracy/ixzz17Cxa3puC
