The Macedonian Empire (1 gen 332 anni a. C. – 1 gen 323 anni a. C.)

Descrizione:

Alexander III, known as Alexander the Great, ruled from 336–323 BC, creating an empire that included Greece, Asia Minor, Egypt, and Persia. After Philip II's assassination, which involved suspicions about Olympias and Alexander's involvement, Alexander was swiftly declared king. He suppressed revolts in Greece and embarked on campaigns against Persia, achieving victories at Granicus, Issus, and Gaugamela. Alexander demonstrated tactical brilliance and was never defeated in battle. His rule showed signs of megalomania, adopting Persian customs and attempting to merge Macedonian and Persian elements. His early death led to the division of his empire among his generals, the Diadochi, marking the start of Hellenistic kingdoms.
