Answer 1

Answer:

sequence of events

The organizing structure a historian would use to explain why the empire of Alexander the Great collapsed would be sequence of events.

This is because there was an order of events that led to the fall of the empire.

Sequence of events is an organizing structure that simply tells the order which events occurred.

Answer 2

The empire was divided three ways between his three top generals. Some 40 years of internecine conflict followed his death, as leading generals and members of Alexander’s family vied to control different parts of the vast empire he had built. The Battle of Ipsus, fought in Phrygia, Asia Minor (present-day Turkey) in 301 BC between rival successors, resulted in the empire’s irrevocable dissolution. There were four major kingdoms. The kingdom of Cassander (circa 358–297 BC), consisted of Macedonia, most of Greece, and parts of Thrace. The kingdom of Lysimachus (circa 361–281 BC), included Lydia, Ionia, Phrygia, and other parts of present-day Turkey. The kingdom of Seleucus (died 281 BC; later the Seleucid Empire), comprised present-day Iran, Iraq, Syria, and parts of Central Asia. The kingdom of Ptolemy I (died 283 BC) included Egypt and neighboring regions and survived until the death of Cleopatra the last Ptolemaic ruler.
