Initially, he ruled all states in Greece; Athens,Thebes,Sparta and Macedonia capital the city of Pella. But, his dream was not limited by the foreign armies. At that time, Persia was still under the umbrella of Emperor Darius and Persia Empire was the greatest, from Turkey to Pakistan.
Alexander was twenty , had just been the king of Macedonia. Darius had more experience than Alexander. Moreover, he ruled the most of the ancient world and had 300,000 soldiers 5,000 horses and the best 10,000 royal guards [ called The immortal]. But, Alexander had only 50,000 men in his army. Although, he had smaller army than Persia, his talent and the loyal army could have much experience as fast as the warhorse run.
After, Alexander prepared his army for the great battle with Persia. He marched to Egypt and conquered it. At that time, Alexander was new Pharaoh of Egypt and built the city of Alexandria for memory his name. Then, Babylon was conquered by him and the next his position is Persia. [ When he ruled Egypt, he sent his general,Ptolemy, to be the governor of this land. Then, Ptolemy was the new Pharaoh after Alexander died and Ptolemy is the ancestor of Cleopatra]
Lastly, Persepolis ,[The capital of Persia] ,was conquered by Alexander and his army. Darius was killed by his guard. So, Persia was the no name empire and had no its own emperor. On the contrary, Alexander became Pharaoh of Egypt, king of Babylon and the emperor of Persia. Next, he brought his army to the border of India, saw elephants and monkeys. However, this was the first time for seeing that,but this was the last time that he could use his eye, his arms and his brain. After that, his body was sent to Pella for the burial. But nowadays, nobody knows where is his body. Everyone knows where was he born and what he did.
