Note: Alexander III, commonly known as “the Great,” was one of the most renowned rulers in history, hailing from the Kingdom of Macedon. He ascended to the throne in 336 BC at the age of 20 after the assassination of his father, King Philip II. Alexander’s reign was marked by his unparalleled military campaigns, which saw him conquer vast territories, including the Persian Empire, Egypt, and parts of India. His conquests led to the spread of Greek culture and influence across the known world, a period later termed the Hellenistic era. Alexander’s military genius, combined with his vision of a unified world, earned him the title “the Great” and solidified his legacy as one of history’s most influential figures.
