Once Alexander III of Macedonia’s father died, he inherited his throne and took over his empire at the age of twenty. Following in his father’s footsteps, he controlled a vast area of land, from Greece to Egypt extending to the Hindu Kush Mountains. Alexander did conquer over 3,000 miles of land, which is absurd, but his ruthless and sadistic manner doesn’t deserve the honoring title of “great”.
