Why is Alexander called “Great”? *

History
1 answer:
jekas [21]4 years ago
3 0

Answer:

Firstly, Alexander got lucky in many ways. His father built the outstanding army that Alexander then used to conquer. Had Phillip the II not died early then it is conceivable that he could have been known as 'The Great' rather than Alexander. Furthermore, in Darius he had the perfect enemy i.e. someone who was massively incompetent.

Secondly, Alexander's legacy has almost certainly been improved by his early death. By dying early Alexander wasn't able to make any many mistakes. If he had lived he undoubtedly would have done. It is often harder to hold an empire than to win it and holding Alexander's empire would have been hard. Remember Alexander was no strander to almost causing disaster.  By forcing his men to keep marching into India Alexander had already come perilously close to mutiny and execution.

Thirdly, whilst Alexander seems to have recognised how difficult it would be to hold his empire but his solution seems to have been forced migration of cities in order to intermingle his people. These tactics have been described at proto-hitlerian by some historians. Had Alexander lived to implement them then it is likely that modern opinion of him would be significantly coloured.

How did Jefferey Dahmer get caught?
egoroff_w [7]

Milwaukee, Wisconsin, police officers spot Tracy Edwards running down the street in handcuffs, and upon investigation, they find one of the grisliest scenes in modern history-Jeffrey Dahmer’s apartment.

Edwards told the police that Dahmer had held him at his apartment and threatened to kill him. Although they initially thought the story was dubious, the officers took Edwards back to Dahmer’s apartment. Dahmer calmly explained that the whole matter was simply a misunderstanding and the officers almost believed him. However, they spotted a few Polaroid photos of dismembered bodies, and Dahmer was arrested.

When Dahmer’s apartment was fully searched, a house of horrors was revealed. In addition to photo albums full of pictures of body parts, the apartment was littered with human remains: Several heads were in the refrigerator and freezer; two skulls were on top of the computer; and a 57-gallon drum containing several bodies decomposing in chemicals was found in a corner of the bedroom. There was also evidence to suggest that Dahmer had been eating some of his victims.


I hope that help :)
