The greatest general of all time.
Born in 356 B.C. in Pella, Macedon.
Son of Phillip II of Macedon.
Became King of Macedon in 336 B.C.
Led an army of Greeks to victories,
conquered most of Greece.
Invaded and conquered the great
Persian Empire. Extended his empire from
Macedon all the way to the outer parts of India.
Near the Ganges river,
his tired and war weary army refused
to go on. Alexander dies in Babylon in 323 B.C.
thus ended the life of Alexander, greatest of all generals.
