Alexander should deserve his title as “Great” because he was a strategical and intelligent leader supported by the many battles he has won. The famous philosopher Aristotle taught Alexander which would support how Alexander was so intelligent; he was taught by one of the most intelligent people at that time in history. Alexander was merely 14 when he began to fight in his father’s army, 18 when he was general, and 20 when he became king.

In history Alexander the Great is always one of the topics to learn, and one of the most asked question is what did Alexander do to be so great.

After the assassination of Philip II in 336 B.C his son Alexander inherited one of the most powerful armies in the world and started an invasion attack in Persia.
