In 334 B.C Alexander attacked the Persians. His victory over the Persian country of Gaugamela showed the defeat of his Persian enemy King Darius III. The ground in the Persian Empire was flat which made it perfect for the Chariots. Even though Alexander was greatly outnumbered, he defeated the Persian Empire; the Persians had 200,00 while Alexander only had 35,000, that is what the historical significance was. The Persian Empire was finally defeated in 331 B.C. Alexander owned the Persians by burning their castle. Even thought Alexander’s tomb has not been found in the past 2000 years, he is said to have died in Persia, but that is just what some historians think.
