On 22 October 331, Alexander entered the great country of Babylon. What I found amazing was that loads of people were waiting in the walls of the city for their new king to enter. He was greatly respected; animals and loads of people and gifts were following him. The historical significance is that the king surrendered immediately when it heard that it was Alexander the Great that was going to attempt conquering him. After he conquered Babylon he went to the capital city of Susa and they surrendered and he gained a lot of money out of them. This battle was one of the lamest as they immediately surrendered.
