Alexander the Great

Does Alexander the Great really deserve his title? I say yes. He deserves this title, because he conquered half of Asia and most of Europe. But Alexander wasn't a ruthless leader, he included the Greek culture in his rule, and he tried to tie the Greek culture and the culture's of the cities he conquered together. Alexander is believed not to have lost a single battle he fought, and that just proves his physical and mental superiority in that time, which should give him the title of great. According to historians " Alexander was very smart, he was even tutored by the great philosopher Aristotle, While conquering the world, Alexander came across the great Gordian knot, which was untied for centuries, he just cut it." I think this quote shows us Alexander mental readiness, and how his always thinking, that was the reason for his great success on the battlefield,

Alexander deserves this title, because he was truly unbeaten in battle but he also, in a way helped the cultures he conquered. Instead of killing or capturing enemy soldiers he hired them for his army, he also invested in the cities he conquered and improved the living standard. All of this Alexander the Great completed and that's why his title is deserved and will stay with him forever.
