Alexander The Great: Alexander's Military Success
Anita I agree with you. Alexander the Great was able to manage his resources and maneuver his troops into positions that made his forces more effective. Alexander’s ability to use his limited resources effectively made his assault on the larger military more efficient. Alexander was able to accomplish more with less because of his effective use of resources which made his army more efficient overall.

    The Merriam-Webster Dictionary defines “great” as, “remarkable in magnitude, degree, or effectiveness; chief or preeminent over others.” Alexander the Great was born to Phillip II, King of Macedonia, in July of 356 BC. Alexander was quickly exposed to a militaristic lifestyle. When his father, Phillip II died, Alexander started his reign at just 20 years old, already with military experience. Alexander would then go on to create the largest empire at the time, earning himself the title, “the Great.” Giving any individual the title of “the Great” is risky, because of varying opinions. Alexander the Great does deserve his title because of his education, military accomplishments, and his courage.…

    The Persian empire at its peak has long been seen as one of the largest wholes during the classical era, and few have rivaled its size. The land that Alexander the Great was able to conquer, however, was one of the few that served as an appropriate challenge. Around the time of 338 B.C.E through 323 B.C.E., Alexander's collected mass was a whole. Of a Greek origin, Alexander was taught by Aristotle, the great philosopher, and it can be inferred that he used the strategic methods learned, among other things, to assist him during his expansion. It was short lived, however, when he died of an unknown cause at an early age of thirty-three. Even though his empire crumbled, his legacy lived on. Multiple cities, strongly influenced by Alexander, erected,…
