Amazingly incredible post. 10/10. 5 stars. 100%.

So today we continued watching the video on Alexander the great. I mentioned Alexander's Persian conquest in a previous post, so I will be talking about what happened a little bit after that in this one. After conquering most of Persia, Alexander still hadn't had enough. He set foot farther and farther into the east, leading his troops through treacherous mountains, causing the troops' morale to plummet. They had been traveling further and further for EIGHT years and all they wanted to do was go home. He eventually got to India in which he fought a massive battle against adorable little elephants, of DOOM. He was able to trick the Indian soldiers' elephants, and won the battle. However, he admired the Indians' bravery, and gave back their land. On the way back, the monsoons hit. His troops had never seen anything like it. They headed home through the desert, a mistake Alexander made that cost thousands of lives. At this point they were very infuriated with their leader. They were starting to lose lots of respect for him. after he began doing some questionable things. On the way back he made his officers marry Persian brides, an odd order that made the officers even more upset with Alexander. When they reached Babylon, it seems as if Alexander wasn't going any further because he intended Babylon to be the central city of his empire.. This brought his soldiers to the breaking point, because they hadn't seen Greece in over eight years. One night, after heavy drinking, Alexander fell mysteriously ill, and died. It;s a possibility that his officers could have poisoned him for what he had done to them, but it's also possible he died form alcohol poising. He could have even died from a disease, like malaria. We'll never really know.
