How Did Alexander Incorporate For The Administration Of His Empire

Which features of the Persian Empire did Alexander incorporate for the administration of his empire?
The Ancient Greece was divided in city-states that were independent from each other. However they would form an ally if they had a common enemy but when they didn’t they fought against each other.
The Persian Empire reached its apogee in the XV century BC. The Persians already dominated the orient and wanted to reach Greece in the V century BC. To stop the Persians, the Greco-Persian wars started with the ally of the cities of Greece. These wars were generally motivated by the maritime commerce.
In the III century BC the Macedonians reached their military expender with Philip II of Macedon, father of Alexander the great. Alexander started expeditions
to defeat the Persians, known as The March of Macedon. Alexander managed to occupy the territories conquered by the Persians and he even reached their land, getting to India. His expedition was fast and done with very few men. The merit of this was due to new war system that was not seen before, like the Hoplite.
Alexander was accompanied by his men from Macedon, other Greeks and as he moved he incorporated mercenaries.
With very few men he managed to consolidate the territories that he conquered. The Persian Empire crumbles in the face of advance of the troupes of Alexander.
In very few time he managed to have a vast territory. As he did not have time to apply his traditions and culture what he did is maintained the Persian administration made by Dario in some territories. Alexander maintained Dario’s provinces, called Sapras. He changed the rulers by his generals but since they did not have enough men of his own, the body of administration was formed by the Persians that were already there, maintaining the same structure and the same government system.
Regarding the political orientation he tried to introduce some new aspects as necessity to maintain the conquered territories. He imposed the Greek language and favoured the mix marriage between conquered and conquerors to encourage the rapprochement between both people. This is how Alexander’s Empire differed from the others, as he did not have enough people, he allowed the Persians to be part of the new Empire instead of disposing of them. Alexander was the clear example of rapprochement; he married Roxana, a Persian
woman.
Alexander also acquired some of the traditions of cult that the Persians had in their courts, which annoyed some of his generals, some of them even conspired against him but Alexander cut this off with violent acts.
In conclusion, generally we can say that Alexander incorporated most of the features of the Persian Empire to the administration of his empire, like the structure and the government system due to a lack of time and men. So, since he did not have enough time and people he thought that the best way to control the people was to keep their structure. It was not like that in all the territories, for example, in Tyra he had more issues and they reveled so he had to apply a slavery system to control them.
