1. What were the effects of Alexander's conquest of a vast area?
If Alexander hadn’t taken that conquest for 11 years, he wouldn’t have had all the land he got. He took over many reigons and spaces with people and that made him even more powerful. Alexander the Great was the Great because of all the land he conquered. For all that travelling he did a lot and it all paid off.
2. What happened to Greek democratic practices when Phillip of Macedonia conquered Greece?
He conquered Greece and it’s city-states and so he ended the Greeks democratic ways and brought his own. During his rule Greeks democratic practices ended.
5. How did the Peloponnesian War lead to Alexander's success as a conqueror?
If the Peloponnesian War hadn’t happened, then the Greeks would be strong and ready to fight. Since the war happened the Greeks were weak and that made it easy for Alexander to attack and conquer them. The Pelopennesian War was like an ally to Alexander since it helped greatly.

Vikram ;D ;D 3. Why did Alexander's empire include central Asia, but not India? Alexander the great conquered many states when he was on his great quest. He traveled East for 11 years this lead him to the Indus River Valley. He was ready to go and charge, but his soldiers were weak and wanting to go home. He was forced to turn back. He returned to Babylon in 323 B.C. where he died of a fever. He is known as Alexander the great. 4. How did Alexander spread Greek influence in new cities he founded? As he conquered many places he made some colonies. These colonies spoke Greek, because it was the common language. Furthermore, he gave Greek rulers the ability to rule his land. This process is called hellenistic. Alexander had many ways to spread Greek ways. 5. How did the Peloponnesian War lead to Alexander's success as a conqueror? See the Peloponessian War had weakened the greek city states. As for they had fought a war for 20 years. Sparta and Athens were both the strongest, but had low amounts of troops. This gave Macedonia a chance to come and conquer easily. As they had done precisely.

1. What were the effects of Alexander's conquest of a vast area? First, after Alexander conquered a vast area, he got to know their culture, and also after he died at the age of 32, he was called as the Alexander the Great, because of his great achievement. 2. What happened to Greek democratic practices when Phillip of Macedonia conquered Greece? King Philip yet was a king, which meant that Macedonia had the monarchy as their form of government. When he conquered Greece, eventually, the Greek democratic practice ended, and Greece fell under King Philip. 2. Why did Alexander's empire include central Asia, but not India? After Alexander conquered central Asia, he set his next target to eastward; but his soldiers resented and refused to fight the East Asia, because they were already fighting for 11 years. Afterwards, Alexander was forced to go back to his own country.
