A Little History of the World No. 17 

We all know the name Alexander the Great and there’a a reason for it. In just 10 years he took over much of the known world from Egypt to India. He was violent, sure, but he could also be lenient and pardoned many who fought against him. In the end he wore his own army out and after 10 years of conquest his soldiers just wanted to go home. It was on the march back to Macedonia that Alexander died: he fell ill after a night of heavy drinking…well he was only 32.
