Persia (Guagamela)

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.

India!

Alexander’s voyage to India was the most famous voyage of all his voyages. He came to India in 327 B.C.E. He had a lot of fights in India, but, the most famous and historic fight was against one of the strongest Indian leaders, his name was Porus. The fight was held at Hydaspes in July 326 B.C.E; it was defiantly a very historic fight in the history of Alexander the Great. Alexander captured Porus and the locals allowed him to govern the areas he conquered. The significance of this battle is that the horse that fought with Alexander throughout all of his voyages died.
