Some facts:

.It spanded over 32,000 miles between Greece and India and Eygpt. .It took him 12 years to conquer it. .He founded many cities most of which were called Alexandria and are still thriving cities today. After his death the empire broke into 3 seperate pieces that had been coquered by 3 of Alexanders generals who all wanted a share. The biggest was conquered by seluceswho got all of the middle east, the seconed largest was took by ptolomy who got egypt and some meditaranian islands (ptolomy's decendents would rule for over 200 years, the last of which would be cleopatra). The third and smallest was tack by Antigod who got Greece some areas around greece and crete. .There would be some big rivalries between these kingdoms, particulay between the ptolomy's and the Selucids.
