Question

Match the leader with the territory given him after Alexander the Great died. 1. Antipater 2. Seleucus 3. Ptolemy A. Asia Minor and part of the Persian Empire B. Greece and Macedonia C. Egypt

Answer 1

The correct matches are:

- Antipater - Macedonia and Greece;

- Seleucus - Asia Minor and part of the Persian Empire;

- Ptolemy - Egypt;

After Alexander III of Macedon (Alexander the Great) died, there were lots of disputes about the ruling of the vast territory, and the Macedonian Empire was divided into four parts. The rulers in the four parts of the previous huge empire very often waged war against each other, as well as with the nations that were under them, especially the Greeks who despised the Macedonians as they considered them as barbarians and it was a big humiliation for them that they are under the rule of a nation that has nothing to do with the Hellenic city-states and that they were no Greeks. All of these four empires fall apart eventually, some earlier, some later, and the last one of the Macedon dynasties was the Ptolemy dynasty, with the famous Cleopatra in charge.
