35) To invade Persia.





36) He was assassinated.





37) His eldest son Alexander.





38) By leading in the front and fighting with them.





39) The Persian army was more than three times as large as the Macedonian/Greek army under Alexander.





40) He had his men forage for food and sold off much of what he captured.





41) He was injured, was defeated for the first time, and there was political turmoil in his new empire.





42) June 10 or 11, 323 b.c. His death is still a mystery. But he is believed to have been poisoned.





43) It was divided amongst his top generals. Because a line of succession could not be established and no one could agree on who to be king from that group. So they each took a portion to the fighting to bring peace to people and honor Alexander.





44) Because he defied the odds. He conquered the world's premier power and established a Greek influence and civilization on far reaching people.





45) Hellenistic culture.





46) Place. His empire was sitting on the center of trade routes, and at the center for a cross of cultures.





47) Aristotle





48) Aristotle taught Alexander how to be a king and how to govern. He also taught him that as a king he must be kind to those he ruled, and to be strong and use his intelligence to outsmart his enemies.
Reply:well to correct spencers #41 he wasnt defeated, there wasnt much of a battle, what happened was alexanders army was taking too long to put up the ladders to siege the high walls, so alexander grabbed a ladder and climbed to the top and over the walls himself, he was the first one over, and not long after he shot with an arrow, which almost killed, his men rushed to get alexander and then they had to leave, cuz alexander was clinging to life. there was no battle, had there been, alexander would have won
