Alexander the Great
ale4655 [162]

Answer:

Answer Below

Explanation:

Some interesting facts about Alexander the Great.

1. He was taught by Aristotle but had famous run-ins with other philosophers.

Alexander’s father, Philip II of Macedon, hired Aristotle, one of history’s greatest philosophers,, to educate the 13-year-old prince. Little is known about Alexander’s three-year tutelage but presumably by the end of it Aristotle’s wise but worldly approach had sunk in. Years later, in India, Alexander paused his military conquests to have lengthy discussions with the gymnosophists, “naked philosophers” from the Hindu or Jain religions who eschewed human vanity—and clothing.

2. In 15 years of conquest Alexander never lost a battle.

Alexander the Great’s military tactics and strategies are still studied in military academies today. From his first victory at age 18, Alexander gained a reputation of leading his men to battle with impressive speed, allowing smaller forces to reach and break the enemy lines before his foes were ready. After securing his kingdom in Greece, in 334 B.C. Alexander crossed into Asia (present-day Turkey) where he won a series of battles with the Persians under Darius III. The centerpiece of Alexander’s fighting force was the 15,000-strong Macedonian phalanx, whose units held off the sword-wielding Persians with 20-foot-long pikes called sarissa.

3. He named more than 70 cities after himself—and one after his horse.

Alexander commemorated his conquests by founding dozens of cities (usually built up around previous military forts), which he invariably named Alexandria. The most famous of these, founded at the mouth of the Nile in 331 B.C., is today Egypt’s second-largest city. Other Alexandrias trace the path of his armies’ advances through present-day Turkey, Iran, Afghanistan, Tajikistan and Pakistan. Near the site of the battle of the river Hydaspes—the costliest victory of his Indian campaign—Alexander founded the city of Bucephala, named for his favorite horse, which was mortally wounded in the battle.

What are the influences and differences between American English and British English?
mote1985 [20]

Answer:

Explanation:

Differences:

Probably the biggest difference among the two is -- vocabulary.

Both nations use some common terms on the daily basis that are differently written and pronounced.

The Americans live in apartments, the Brits live in a flat.

The Americans drive a truck, the Brits drive a lorry.

The difference is also seen in auxiliary verbs -- for example will and shall.

Even though Americans have that word in their vocabulary, they don't really use it. They find it too stiff and formal.

When a Brit would say, '' I shall go home now '' ,he express that this certain action will occur somewhere in the near future.

The Americans would say, '' I will go home now '' .

There is a visible difference in past tense verbs as well.

We all know the three columns that each verb has, well, Brits don't (almost) ever use the third column, aka, past participle.

When a Brit would say '' I haven never got a pet as a present '', American would answer '' I've gotten three by now ''.

When it comes to tag questions, Brits use it way more than the Americans, even though both of their dictionaries contain them.

A Brit would say '' You love me, don't you? '' where an American would simply keep it at '' You love me? ''

There are many difference in spelling, too.

For Americans, it's as simple as flavor, color, favor, labor.

For the Brits, it's a bit flavour, colour, favour and labour.

Still, there are many more similarities than actual differences.

Influences:

The Americans decided to change their language because of Noah Webster.

He had a vision that America as a new nation should have differences compared to the British people. He wanted to show America's independence.

For a fact, American English is actually older than British.

British English sounds more like french which can be seen in some of the words with - our.

Both of the nations have collected words from different languages: French, Arabic, Spanish... etc.
