Alexander III inherited a country fraught with economic difficulties, violent extremists and social tensions. His priority was to maintain his autocratic power and restore the power and influence of the nobility – his most trusted support base. Although he achieved some success, especially with his economic reform, he failed to deal with the key issues facing the Russian people, causing long term tensions that would result in revolution.…

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 accomplished many feats thought to be unattainable. “Alexander and his army marched for 11 years over 22,000 miles and never lost a battle against the strongest foes of his time” (Smith 1).

People might say that the Persian Empire was already beginning to fall (Smith 1), but even though they might have begun to weaken they were still the most powerful empire at the time.…

    The Persian empire at its peak has long been seen as one of the largest wholes during the classical era, and few have rivaled its size. The land that Alexander the Great was able to conquer, however, was one of the few that served as an appropriate challenge. Around the time of 338 B.C.E through 323 B.C.E., Alexander's collected mass was a whole. Of a Greek origin, Alexander was taught by Aristotle, the great philosopher, and it can be inferred that he used the strategic methods learned, among other things, to assist him during his expansion.

Multiple cities, strongly influenced by Alexander, erected,…
