Alexander the Great did not conquer the world. he was stopped at the border of India. When his army of horses was surrounded by the Army of Elephants. he had no choice but to surrender or his horses would be squeezed like bugs in a stampede of drunk elephants.
He successfully invaded and set up a kingdom in the Indian subcontinent. Alexander set up a Greek/Macedonian kingdom in 326 BC that lasted through various Greek successor states such as the Selecuid Empire, Greco-bactrian kingdom and Indo-Greek Kingdom until it fell to the indo-sythians who invaded from the North in AD 10. It was the last free Greek Kingdom the rest having been conquered by the Romans and partisans so thats Macedonia, Greece, Rhodes, Asia minor, Egypt, Syracuse and others falling to the Romans and the rest to the parthians. Maybe the Greek cities in the black sea were still unconquered I dont know. The Greeks are part of indian history, culture and are in indians DNA.
I don’t think I’d ever be known world wide but for the people who do know me or those will come to know of me in the future, will know I’ve stuck with my dream goals I’ve had since I was 8 years old. Running my own clothing business and becoming a better seamstress everyday, they’ll know me for the mother and wife I’ve always wanted to be, someone hard working and overly caring. I may not be someone that’s known world wide with this fancy title but I’ll be happy with what I will be known for.

Based on your username, I have a feeling you'll get a kick out of this. And you're mom said video games are a waste of time. To answer your question, with enough hard work and maybe a little luck, I can become one heck of a cage fighter or a thai boxer.
Not to belittle the accomplishments of a man who earned the title "the Great"(history doesn't give that to trust fund brats) buuuut... keep in mind (to help your self esteem) that Alex was the definition of having a head start in life. Nothing says privileged kid quite like being personally tutored by Aristotle snd inheriting all of Greece and the greatest army the world had seen at the age of twenty.
Why is it always some white guy? Alexander the great was just a bloodthirsty dictator like Hitler and Stalin anyway 🙄 Why not MLK or Nelson Mandela? Fame shouldn't be your goal. Being happy and making others happy/the world a better place for others like MLK did, should be more important..
Being 32 back in the day is diffierent than being 32 now. Just saying... In any way, we all love to do something significant. I however don't know and don't count on having my name in the history books. I mostly focus on living my life the best I can.

My knowledge of geography, such that I won't make such stupid claims when EVEN THAT CULTURE knows of the many, many parts of the world I never VISITED, let alone conquered. The Chinese would've shredded you, Alex.
Actually, Alexander didn't conquer the world. He didn't even conquer the known world as it was then (ex. he failed to take India, Carthage). I just thought I'd clear that up for you. :)
He died at 32 after conquering the ''known world'' not the whole world. Well since my dad won't leave me an Empire to manage like Alexander The Great's dad Philip III. did, most propably I won't be known conquering the world lol.
Alexander the Great had EVERYTHING handed to him though. He was born into royalty, he inherited his family's fortune and power, and he was taught under Aristotle himself. This is the equivalent of a kid being born into a rich and powerful family that could afford to give him the best schooling. Kinda like Donald Trump, born from wealthy parents who already had big businesses, went to the finest schools, and got a "small loan" of a million dollars from his daddy.
Some people with the same privilege do not even come close to being as successful as these people though. The foundation was probably there, but needed someone to really push it forward and they did the job.
And I'm on my way to becoming more known in the poetic/writing world as I have some of my works published in books. And aside from that have had my work read by over 10,000 people.
Alexander conquered most of the known world by 32, but most highschoolers today know more about science and math than Alexander could have ever dreamed of learning.
I am known for NOT having died with 32. My fame is somewhat limited to a 10 kilometer radius, though. Anyhow: my humble contribution to the world is yet to come. I may save it? We'll see.
If Julius Caesar himself admitted that he's nothing when he looked at a statue of Alexander in Spain, I'm not going to brag about any of my achievements. I'm a piece of shit compared to these men.
@humanearth I was asking @SaraSmithishere if I could follow her socials since she’s a business owner... I wasn’t asking you haha but thanks for telling me that😊😊
That was a callback to when I told you that if I ever have another kid, you're going to be the Godmother. However I don't remember what his/her name was going to be though. lol
