You have just been challenged with the question "Was Alexander great or not?" Your position is that Alexander was great, but you will have to persuade everyone else. Explain what made Alexander the Great so great and how he spread Greek culture and brought ideas from other cultures to Greece.

Answer:

Alexander the Great was an amazing conqueror, in 13 short years he amassed the largest empire in the entire ancient world -- an empire that covered 3,000 miles. And he did this without the benefit of modern technology and weaponry. He became the King of Macedonia at the age of 20, which is very young for a king.

Alexander was great indeed. He managed to unite the entire Greece under his rule, and not only that, but he also vastly increased the size of his empire, covering almost entirely what was then the known world. Another great part about him was that he was not merciless towards his enemies and never imposed his religion or laws to anyone, but rather allowed different cultures to remain as they were if they behaved properly.

Step-by-step explanation:

Hope this helped! Have a good day.

A great conqueror, in 13 short years he amassed the largest empire in the entire ancient world — an empire that covered 3,000 miles. And he did this without the benefit of modern technology and weaponry. In his day, troop movements were primarily on foot, and communications were face to face. Not bad for a kid who became the King of Macedon at the age of 20.
