His conquests included the Persian Empire, Egypt, and large parts of Asia, reaching as far as the Indus River in India.  Alexander's military genius, charismatic leadership, and ability to inspire loyalty among his troops were instrumental in his success.  His kingdom brought about significant cultural and political change, spreading Greek culture throughout the known world.
