Alexander's Anthony Analysis
My opinion is that Alexander handled the mutiny rather well. Alexander successfully used fear tactics, and guilt tripped his men, in order to doing what he wanted. Since Alexander killed the thirteen men, his other troops listened to him. When the soldiers were listening to him, they started feeling guilty because Alexander was pointing out everything that he and his father had done for these men. After this, Alexander says that they can go home, but they have to tell their fellow citizens that the reason that they did not conquer more of the world is because they deserted their king. In my opinion, Alexander handled the mutiny rather well, by using fear tactics and guilt-tripping his men.

    How Did Alexander Contribute To The Revolutionary War

    All throughout his defense of the Loyalists, he often came under fire both from politicians and regular people. However, he defended his actions based on the conditions stated in the peace treaty signed both by the Great Britain and the confederation government. He also argued that if the Loyalists were gravely persecuted, it may lead to retribution from the British Army leading to another war. At the same time, Alexander further explained that if majority of Loyalists were to leave the new country, it can have financial consequences considering majority of those who were moving away were merchants. More importantly though, was that Alexander didn’t want the world to think that the United States of America was a country that wasted its time…

    How Did Alexander Build A Great Empire

    Now, instead of simply discussing his most glorious battle and successful expansion of his empire by overthrowing the Persian Empire. And although they were a major success to his rising to power. People must be able to understand exactly how even after defeating his enemies, Alexander ran these new additions to his empire and effected them through cultural influence. While Alexander was exceedingly bright, some may have doubted how he chose to run them. Even after the overthrowing of Darius III, Alexander still wanted to add more to his empire. He even went as far as India to overthrow, which only failed due to homesick soldiers. Thus, this had to be Alexander's greatest flaw, he didn't know when enough was enough. Now, back to subject at…

    Character Analysis Of 'Johnny In Anthony's'

    In addition, Johnny is a hero because he is brave. He ran into a burning church because he wanted to save the children in the church. As Johnny was dropping off the children at the church, he saw the church starting to crumble. When he saw that he shoved Ponyboy toward the window and yelled, “‘Get Out,’” (Hinton 93). This further demonstrates that he is brave trying to save the children in the church and how h e first thought about the children when he saw the church burning. You may think that Johnny is a hood because he killed Bob, but he did that to save Ponyboy. It was also self-defense as what Dally was saying, “‘Socs in the rumble and would testify that the socs were drunk and looking for a fight and you fought back in self-defense,’”…

    How well did Alexander III deal with the problems that he faced

    One of Alexander’s main problems he faced was the threat of the violent extremists who called themselves “The People’s Will”. These were the people who killed his father, so he felt that in order to crush the rebellion amongst them the only way to deal with them was to find the leaders and hang them. Another thing he did to try and control their potentially violent followers, was to introduce a statute of state and security in 1881. This statute increased the force of the Okhrana to try and curb violent rebels; gave the government control of the courts, which meant that they acted outside of the legal system and had no need for a jury; any judges and magistrates that were sympathetic to reform were removed and replace with more conservative ones; and thousands were exiled to Siberia. Although these policies appeared to have the rebels under control, all it did was repress them so much that they were forced to go underground and hold secret meetings because at this point they had no other means of expressing which just led to pent-up anger creating a boiling point that would eventually be reached and cause a revolution. On the other hand, it did solve the problem of the revolutionaries temporarily as there wasn’t an assassination attempt again until 1887, which Alexander survived. Overall, his…

    Alexander The Great Dbq

    Many people think that Alexander the Great was truly great because of all his accomplishments, but not all of the things he did were great. He did lots of cruel things to people and animals just because he wanted to gain more power. Alexander has killed approximately 100,000 people only in four major battles (Alexander’s Legacy Doc E). Alexander was a prince who was born in macedonia of 356 BC. Alexander was very arrogant. He was taught by a philosopher Aristotle. He taught him subjects like, politics, sports, and warfare. Philip, Alexander’s father built the macedonian army into a deadly fighting machine, this sparked alexander’s interest and was eager to to lead the army. And Alexander got his chance to lead at the age of 20, because Philip…

    Alexander The Great Dbq

    Document C illustrates how Alexander was able to defeat the Tyre which was a self proclaimed “unconquerable city” because it was built on an island protected with high walls. “ The great city…. Was now utterly destroyed. Her king, Azimilik, and various other notables, including envoys from carthage, had taken refuge in the temple of Melkart, and Alexander spared their lives. The remaining survivors, some 30,000 in numbers, he sold into slavery, Two thousand men of military age were crucified.” (Doc C) Although some might argue he isn't great because the deaths of two thousand military man are quite brutal he did it out of pure leadership in order to finish the battle he started. Alexander stepped up as a leader and was able to lead men into a battle and defeat the unconquerable city. Also In Document C, another battle or march, Alexander shows leadership, “Alexander had ordered that all [expect] those who sought sanctuary were to be slain” (Document C). This shows Alexander was great by leadership because he made the big decision for his troops on what to follow out, even though it was a rough game plan, he stepped up and took charge.…

    Alexander The Great Research Paper

    Alexander the Great was one of the best generals the world has ever seen. His determination helped him spread the Greek culture (also called Hellenism) throughout his empire. In a short thirteen years, Alexander conquered the Persians and controlled one of the biggest empires in history. Lead by his fathers prejudice against the Persians and notorious temperament has lead many historians to wonder, was Alexander really great? Alexander's first battle was with the Persians at Granicus River in 334 B.C.E. By the following spring, Alexander controlled the entire western half of Asia minor. The Persian king, Darius the third, tried to stop Alexander but failed at Issus in 333 B.C.E. After his victory Alexander then turned south and by the…

    At only 32 years old, Alexander had created the largest empire the world had seen. He conquered land ranging from Greece to Egypt, and from Egypt to Asia and Persia. At just 20 years old, Alexander received the throne from Philip. Soon after, he began to build his empire. Alexander was very proud of his accomplishments, as one would expect. After defeating his close friend Dareius in battle, Alexander boasted, “What, pray? Dost thou not think that we are already victorious, now that we are relieved from wandering a vast and desolate country in pursuit of a Dareius who avoids battle?” (Plutarch…

    It’s important to think before one acts rather than acting on irrational emotions because it could ultimately lead to a person’s downfall. In “Othello” and “Antigone,” both Othello and Creon are confronted by their tragic flaws of irrational passions—excessive pride and jealousy. While possessing differing tragic flaws, both men ultimately suffer from the results of their decisions after it was too late to recognize their flaw.…

    Alexander The Great Video Analysis

    When people think of Alexander the Great how do they think of him? Do people interpret him as great or just a big jerk? History wrote Alexander the Great down as, well great, but is this really the truth? Or are most of the time people with these self proclaimed titles just jerks with over inflamed egos? In social studies class, we watched three very different videos about Alexander the Great. Each video portrayed Alexander in different ways. One of the videos portrayed him as vain, but very powerful. Another portrayed him as a kind, gracious, and well great king. The people in this video thought of him like a God.The final video portrayed him a very different light that is different than how most people see Alexander the Great. This final video portrayed him as a evil, ruthless killer, with all of humanity's worst traits manifested in him. In my personal opinion Alexander the Great was not at all great. He doesn’t deserve his title of great. It would almost be like giving Hitler the title of great (which in no way was Hitler great). The three videos helped me to determine whether Alexander the Great was bad or great.…

Although the battle between Alexander and Porus was long and hard fought, Alexander comes out victorious. But before that Alexander rides up to the dying Porus and asks what the defeated king wants. He answers that he wants to be treated as a king and Alexander proceeds to give Porus’ kingdom back. Although Alexander showed some sense of mercy all throughout his life, this part…
