Alexander the Great

QuestionAnswer
King Philip military accomplishments  1. Formed rugged men into successful army  2. Adopted the Greek Phalanx • Except he changed two things: the body armor was less and each soldier carried a pike o Invaded Greece
How’d the Peloponnesian War pave the way for Philips conquest of Greece? it weakened Greece and left it vulnerable. Athens itself was defeated, and the other city-states could not agree on a united policy against the Macedonians
BATTLE OF ISSUS 75,000 Persians against remaining Macedonians from previous war o Alexander and Macedonians win again!
Q: After his victory at the Granicus River, Alexander sent 300 suits of Persian armor to Athens with this message: What does this message suggest about Alexander’s attitudes toward the Greek and Greek culture? A: not only does he admire Greek culture, but he considers himself Greek (as well as Macedonian)
Battle at Gaugamela o Alexander quickly occupied capitals of Babylon, Susa, and Persepolis  Persepolis was burned..How? either: • Alexander burned it down as revenge for Persians burning Athens • It was an accident and fire burned it
Why did Alexander continue his conquests after Darius was dead? Alexander believed it was his destiny to conquer and rule men. The defeat of the Persians only fueled his dreams of further world conquests. It opened the way for his armies to continue to expand the Empire in to Asia
With Alexander the Great in mind, what qualifications or characteristics do you think are needed for a leader to build an empire? charisma (to gather ppl’s support), ideas (to help change or create a better place than before), military strength (to help in empire building), and opportunism (to know when an opportunity shows itself and quickly take advantage)
