Alexander the Great had victory over the Persians in 334 B.C. This battle resulted in Alexander gaining power in Asia Manor, a strong defensive base. What happened was, Alexander the Great was heading out to Asia with about 40 thousand men, and then they faced the Persian army in the Granicus River, that’s why it’s called ‘The battle of Granicus’. A historical significance behind this was that it was the first time Alexander the Great faces his enemy’s army, the Persian army. His enemy himself, Darius 111 wasn’t there, but his countrymen were and that’s what Alexander the great cared about.
