Who was Alexander the Great?. . A.. the Persian leader who overtook the Greeks and established the largest empire in Europe. . B.. the Macedonian king who took control of the Greek city-states and established an empire that stretched as far east as India. . C.. the Athenian leader who studied under Aristotle, but thought philosophy was a useless pastime that interfered with his study of martial arts. . D.. the Greek warrior who hoped to conquer the entire world so he could help people become as comfortable as possible.
The correct answer is B.. the Macedonian king who took control of the Greek city-states and established an empire that stretched as far east as India.
He conquered what was at that time considered to be almost the entire world, hence the name "the Great". He successfully defeated Persia and died somehow when he was in India. The exact reason why he died young has never been found although there are speculations as to what happened.
