Alexander the Great

336 – 323 B.C.

Alexander the Great’s conquests were monumental, creating an empire that spanned from Greece to Egypt and into India. His powerful army and strategic brilliance led to the formation of the Hellenistic world, where Greek culture and influence spread across vast regions. In Egypt, Alexander founded the city of Alexandria, which became a major center of learning and culture. His empire, though short-lived, had a profound impact, blending Eastern and Western traditions and shaping the course of history for centuries.
