Two remarkably prominent individuals primitive to the Western Civilization era known to be Alexander the Great & Pericles who spearheaded their powerful empires through fortitude, sentiment, and ambition. Alexander the great ruled one of the most expansive empires that was known to have been the most protrusive of the ancient world, his father Phillip of Macedon, left him with a myriad of conquered kingdoms and consumed almost innumerable countries that became inherited by Alexander the Great. He went to dire extremes to take what he desired, with an almost manifest destiny sensibility. He achieved such great feats through marriage, conquest, battling alongside his warriors, overcoming personal issue while giving unexpected respect to his
Alexander the Great can be both considered a hero and a villain . Alexander the Great became the king of Macedonia at the age of nineteen. He conquered many places when he was king. Some of those places were Persia, Egypt, and Asia. The reasons that people call Alexander a villain is because he killed and sold more than six thousand people, destroyed Thebes so that other city-states in Greece would be afraid of him., and said no to “uncivilized” customs.
One of the greatest conquistadors in history was Alexander III of Macedon, also known as Alexander the Great. Behind his accomplishments of taking down the dominant Persia and the mighty Egypt, stands a leader who is confident, driven, a risk taker, a great communicator, and is both tactically and technically proficient. Alexander the Great is a prime example of the army’s definition of an adaptive leader. The young conqueror began his path to becoming a leader when he took over his father’s kingdom at the age of sixteen.
This is why Thebes first revolted but through the rebellion, he was able to prove his point, show his military brilliance, and rule with a gentle but strong hold. During the time of his death, Alexander the Great had a large influence and a massive number of cities. His empire was two million square miles and he had founded seventy cities. He accomplished this over eleven years (Doc. X). His army marched, marched, and marched on and year after year, day after day, they conquered.
Alexander the Great in my opinion had two sides. While both were “great”, he had in my eyes two separate personalities both of which were great but one was very war related and the other side showed more compassion that you would have thought been from this king. Alexander the Great was a very dominate ruler largely because of an exceptional military, but he was also a horribly brutal conqueror. Alexander the Great was very brutal when it came to slavery. He sold 30,000 Phoenicians alone into slavery.
One of the most successful and the greatest of all history was Alexander the Great. Very brilliant, patient and never gone to war without planning it first. Alexander took lots of risk and sacrifice. During his time in history, he fought off the Persians and Greek, conquered Egypt and Asia Minor, and secured the Mediterranean Sea. Alexander was so important to history, he did so much things in history.
The both kings that were going to talk about are king Henry and Alexander the great. The both king were different and some of have similarities when they ruled for their time. The kings were both remember but Henry the VIII as not remember what he wanted to be. When Henry the VIII and Alexander the great were rulers the people remember them when they died .They were both blood thirsty and Henry the VIIl and both Brilliant
Alexander the Great Alexander the Great, a powerful leader, is one of the most famous people in history. Alexander the Great was born in 356 BCE in a kingdom of Greece called Macedonia. Alexander inherited the kingdom at 20 years old when his father, King Philip, was assassinated. This left Alexander to conquer and expand his empire. (BGE)
Alexander III of Macedon, commonly known as Alexander the Great, was born in Pella in July 356 BCE and died in Babylon in June 323 BCE. He was the son of King Philip II of Macedon, and succeeded his father as king after his decease in 336 BCE. He then went on to conquer most of the known world of his day – subduing a realm which stretched from Macedonia and Greece, via Egypt to the Indus Valley – earning the name “Alexander the Great” for both being a military genius, and because of his diplomatic skills in how he handled the various populations of the regions he conquered. Alexander was born to parents King Philip II of Macedon and Queen Olympias. He was highly influenced by his parents; Alexander learned the art of warfare from his father,
The first reason Alexander the great wasn't so great after all, is because he was arrogant. Arrogance comes when one has too much pride, and behaves in a unkind way, for example Alexander. To begin with, in Document A there are as many as 10 cities named after himself. Firstly, this shows arrogance because he did not conquer the cities alone, his soldiers were very handy but he didn't share his victory with them. What also makes Alexander arrogant is when in Document D he cared too much about the prophecy that he painfully had the solider killed, when the soldiers only intention was to get Alexander his hat back safely.
Alexander became the best ruler in history using his strategy of seizing the leader first. This attack worked extremely well for this time period because no one had ever heard of such a thing. When Alexander first started using this tactic everyone told him it was gonna fail but he proved them wrong. Alexander was the best at warfare and it did not matter who he faced, they would lose in the end. Alexander learned that letting empires retain their religion and culture would prevent them from retaliating against him.
Alexander the Great and Julius Caesar were two highly important men in the history of the world. In Greek and Roman Lives, the historian Lucius Mestrius Plutarchus, better known as just Plutarch, wrote about the lives of these two great men. He wrote of how their surroundings and the people around them influenced them, and how that affected their success in their plans to reach some form of eternal glory in their desire to become greater than those who came before them. They were both extremely ambitious, quick to fight, and careless of danger on the path to glory.
Alexander the Great and the Macedonian Empire dominated the ancient world from 336 to 323 B.C. through military force and cultural exchange. The army of Macedonia had achieved an abundance of success due to Alexander's ability to provide his militaries with the best weapons, instill the training needed to perform battle formations and endure battle as well as the attitude needed to overcome adversity such as being outnumbered by the Persians. Despite conquering various lands, Alexander the Great chose not to impose his rule, but rather embrace certain customs, in order to spread Hellenism and eliminate the perception of being foreign; the process of unification impacted western civilization by mixing the people of Macedonia with other conquered
Glorious men have graced the earth and have left significant impressions on the following generations. Alexander the Great suits that profile like none other. As arguably one of the most influential military leaders in history, Alexander conquered the majority of the known world, including large-scale empires such as the Persian. Succeeding his father, Philip II, to the throne at the age of 20, Alexander commanded an already skilled military, which he schooled further in the beginning of his reign. Even militarily significant empires had no chance against Alexander 's military brilliance and so he constructed one of the largest empires in history.
Over the years, society’s opinion of “great” has been influenced not only by the people who create the standard, but also by the people who follow it. People such as Steve Jobs, Martin Luther King Jr., and even Abraham Lincoln set the examples of what a “great” person might accomplish and what standards they might follow. For example, Alexander the Great was born 300 years before Jesus of Nazareth into a family in which his father was King Philip of Macedonia. At the age of seventeen he took to the throne as a result of his father’s death, and by the age of twenty he launched an invasion of the Persian Empire. Being successful in his efforts to conquer lands and create one of the largest empires at the time, his accomplishments led even Julius
Alexander the Great was the king and renown general of Macedonia. He led the Greek army against Persia and used many bold tactics in battle. Alexander the Great significantly expanded the Greek legacy by conquering territories. When he conquered a territory, he would not force the locals to assimilate into the Greek culture. This is to ensure they would not rebel against his leadership.
