.. Alexander would conquer the Persian Empire, including Anatolia, Syria, Phoenicia, Judea,

Gaza, Egypt, Bactria and Mesopotamia and extend the boundaries of his own empire as far as the Punjab.

In today's terms, Alexander would likely also be considered a practitioner and strong supporter of multiculturalism and diversity, since he allowed non-Greeks into his army, including its administration. This was/is considered Alexander's "policy of fusion" ("Alexander the Great"), and arguably a very early precursor of today's emphases on inclusion, in areas like the military and higher education.

But while Alexander's numerous military feats have all been recorded with the precision of the time, the reasons for Alexander's early death at Babylon remain unclear, even today. For example, according to the article "What Killed Alexander the Great: Maybe Typhoid Fever (June 11, 1998): "Alexander died in 323 B.C. In Babylon at age 32 after conquering much of the civilized world that was known at the time to Europeans.
" Other theories abound as well; since we will never know for sure, we have only to make educated guesses.

What is known for sure, however, is that Alexander was a great military strategist ands brave warrior. Until his early and unexpected death, Alexander the Great worked tirelessly to transform, through an extremely impressive string of military victories, the world in which he lived. In this most important way, then, Alexander the Great left an indelible mark on world history, and his brilliant military leadership is much admired and much-studied worldwide: even today.
