Three major influences among miriads of others:

1. Roman empire was inspired by Alexander 2. Alexander made possible rapid spread of Christianity 3. Alexander was one of the first rulers who proclaimed openly the idea of brotherhood of man hence inspiring countless efforts aimed at integration of humanity, including the United Nations, most recently.
