Description:

Alexander III of Macedon (most commonly known as Alexander the Great) was a ruler who conquered not only the vast Persian Empire but as far East as portions of India. Through conquering, he formed one of the largest empires in ancient history. His rule came on after his father, King Philip II, was assassinated. Though he died rather young at the age of 33, he managed to do quite a formidable task and helped bring places from around the world together through conquering and centralizing government. 2.2)
