Q: How did you capture Persia?
A: Well, I wanted to follow my fathers plan by invading Persia, but first I would have to make shure that Macedonia would not be in chaos once I left. But when I did leave to go fight Persia I had a small army, we marched over the Granicus River and fought against the Persian army and some of there governors. We won that war, which was called the Battle of the Granicus. Then I moved my way down to Egypt but ran into the Persian army again and defeated them a second time in the battle of Issus. When I got down to Egypt they made a there pharaoh, they considered me a god because they thought all there Pharaoh's were gods. But after that I left Egypt to continue into Persia, At the battle of Gaugamela Darius III, King of Persia, lost his 2ed army and that ended the Persian empire, and I took over.

Q: Why was Alexander the Great important?
