introduction to conquer the world is something many generals and militants have dreamed about from the dawn of time. And yet no one has quite managed to bring the whole world of Earth under his full control. Undoubtedly, though, most people agree that if anybody came close to doing so, it was none other than Alexander the Great. The very name he is known by Alexander the Great is a testament to his military prowess on the way he went about annexing territory and adding new lands to his huge empire. He is one of the few ancient commanders who went undefeated by any of his enemies in battle. He ascended the throne at the tender age of 20 on DH, went on to establish one of the largest empires of the ancient world, one that stretched from ancient Greece to Egypt and all the way into northern India. Mentored as he waas by one of the greatest thinkers and philosophers the world has ever known Aristotle himself, it comes as no surprise that he was an excellent strategist. Alexander the Great has had a defining presence in history that has shaped the world in a way that very few leaders before or since him Khun Claim. In fact, outside of Genghis come, it's hard to see another person who has caused more devastation, reform and destruction than Alexander accomplished. In his short term as emperor of the Greek Empire, he tore down enemies that had struggled against the Greeks for centuries, and he subject hated those who were thought to be impossible to conquer. His legacy is something that has helped build the world to something that influenced the likes of Julius Caesar and Napoleon Bonaparte. So what exactly did Alexander do? How did this child of a king of a place called Macedonia shaped the entire world in such a profound and vast way? And what happened to his empire after he passed away? History shows us that with Alexander's death came the break up of the huge kingdom he had built. The empire lasted little more than a few years after he passed on. So what was it about this young man who managed to keep such a huge and vast kingdom safe and in control? In this book, we're goingto have an in depth look at his accomplishments and his legacy. We will look into his life as he took the throne and examine the many wars he fought to establish control over his huge empire on DH. That too, before he hit his 33rd birthday.
