Alexander deserves the title,¨The Great¨.He set out to conquer The Persian Empire at the mere age of twenty1.He achieved his goal at a young age,only thirty years old1.He traveled farther than any Greek had ever seen,including India1.Alexander had killed 100,000 in people in major battles2 along the way,and many people say that is why he isn’t great.Although it is true that many people died in Alexander’s conquest,30,000 people were spared their lives.That may seem insignificant compared to 100,000, but many who he killed were those who opposed him.Those who chose to hide in a temple were spared.Alexander was merciful,and did not kill everyone left after the battle.Alexander was also smart and selfless.This is why he is great.
