The General Story of Alexander the Great

Macedonia has been regarded as a small marginal country among the Greek city-states for a long time. After Philip Il defeated other Greek city-states, an anti-Macedonian storm was brewing in a brief calm. In 336 BC, Alexander succeeded to the throne at the age of 20. After defeating the city of Thebes, Alexander was awarded the generalship of Greece. In the following year, he invaded the Persian Empire and began a series of campaigns. Alexander the Great defeated the Persian army at the Battle of Gaugamela and captured the Achaemenid capital. And then he had a grand tour of central Asia and founded a series of new cities. In 324 BC, he finished his conquest that lasted 10 years and created one of the largest empires in history. Alexander the Great is the most famous military leader and the most influential person in human history.
