Alexander the Great

I sat down for a meeting with famous philosopher Aristotle, in order to gather information about Alexander the Great. My first question was, Who was Alexander the Great. The response i received was a gasp, he seemed as if he was surprised I didn't know about him. He said "Alexander was born in 356 B.C. and his father Philip was assassinated which made Alexander the hair to the throne of the Macedonian Empire. The throne was given to him at an outstanding time, he now possessed an extremely expensive army with huge numbers of solders."

I than asked another question, Did Alexander the Great have any accomplishments. Aristotle then said, "Alexander had many fantastic accomplishments, such as when he invaded Persian rule in 334 B.C. He broke the power of Persia through an outstanding number of battles. Alexander also overthrew the Persian king Darius the 3rd and conquered the entirety of the Persian Empire. Because of this the Macedonian Empire now stretched from the Adriatic sea to the Indus river." Aristotle taught me much about Alexander the Great and how he played such an important role in history
