How Did Alexander's Death Affect Eurasia

After Alexander’s death, unfortunately the powerful and mighty empire he built up, rapidly declined. But in these remains, were left people of various races and cultures. Even though Alexander’s premature death was devastating it set the groundwork for a new era that is now known as the Hellenistic Age. During the Hellenistic Age, Alexander was responsible for most of Eurasia’s cultural development and diffusion. There were many advancements made during this era, some regarding medicine, military, and math & mechanical sciences.

One area where there were many advancements made was in medicine, as a result of Alexander’s conquest. The pulse began to be used to diagnose disease and illnesses. This improvement shows the deeper understanding and application of knowledge to the medical field as a result of Alexander's rule. Another improvement is of the understanding of the heart, which they now saw as a pump with valves. This was yet another advancement that
demonstrates more in depth knowledge. Thus knowledge is crucial for further advancements and demonstrates Alexander’s lasting impact over Eurasia medically. Improvements with surgery also took place, and they were now able to control bleeding with tourniquets. This was a medical breakthrough, with incentives that are still used today. Eurasia achievements can be measured by comparing them to an earlier civilization like Egypt. In Egypt they did not have advanced medicine by any means, instead they relied mostly on the gods to heal them and keep healthy whoever the gods think are worthy of life. This success that Eurasia had proves Alexander positively impacted Eurasia medically. Alexander’s rule forever changed Eurasia’s view of medicine, but also heavily impacted Eurasia's Military views.

Military became modernized due to Alexander's rule. New boarding and naval techniques were adopted for uniformity and efficiency. This shows how Alexander, and his way of managing the military by instituting new techniques, impacted a permanent change on the military. Different variations of the Phalanx were also initiated. This demonstrated how Alexander was an influential character in the advancements of Eurasia’s military. Lastly, catapults and cranes were built as new weapons for battle. These inventions put Eurasia one step ahead of their enemies, which contributes to their success. This success proves that Alexander’s rule had a lasting impact on war strategies and weaponry. Alexander’s conquests improved military stadigiesand weapons, and built the foundation for other centuries to further improve. In addition to improving the military Alexander also influences math and Mechanical sciences.

Alexander's rule directly affected Eurasia's advancements in math and mechanical sciences.
Euclid wrote a book with proofs still used today. Even though this was an early development in the math world it is sophisticated enough to still be taught today. This was one of the many mathematical breakthroughs that helped evolve Eurasia’s culture into a more complex, educated and diverse culture. Mathematicians were even able to roughly calculate the circumference of the Earth. This means they not only had the mathematical principles but also applied them . This shows the maturing of Math During the Hellenistic Age, as a result of Alexander's conquests. Not only was math affected, but mechanical sciences also improved the invention the steam engine occurred , and invention still used today to transport goods. This proves Alexander permanently changed Eurasia’s culture regarding mechanical sciences. All of this evidence proves that Alexander’s rule has a long lasting impact on society
today.
Eurasia was able to develop and improve even after the death of Alexander. But these advancement would not be made possible if it was not for the life Alexander the Great lead. He left a legacy for others to strive for. Connecting to the Peloponnesian war // next time period Rome
