2. What happened to Greek democratic practices when Phillip of Macedonia conquered Greece?
After conquering lands around Macedonia, Philip focused on city-states. He completed the conquest of the Greeks. He became the ruler of the Greek city-states. He had a dictatorial rule, this ended Greek democratic practices.
3. Why did Alexander's empire include central Asia, but not India?
Alexander pushed his armies eastwards to conquer parts of Central Asia. Unfortunately, in 326 B.C. they reached the Indus River Valley and India. Alexander urged them to continue further, but his armies refused to go. They had been fighting for 11 years and went far away from home. He was then forced back to return home.
5. How did the Peloponnesian War lead to Alexander's success as a conqueror?
It helped Alexander as after the war, the other Greek city-states were very weak and disorganized to unite together and fight against Philip. Philip had an advantage; he made a good choice to attack that point of time. It also showed him the advantages of a professional army. He devised new battle formations and tactics.

1. What were the effects of Alexander's conquest of a vast area?
There were many results of Alexander’s conquest. One was Hellenistic culture. Hellenistic culture was a combination of Egyptian, Persian, and Greek culture. When Alexander conquered Egyptian and Persian territory they combined cultures and made discoveries in art and science. Also Greek became a commonly spoken language around the entire area. These are some of the changes brought around by Alexander’s conquest.

Greek democratic procedures instantaneously stopped. Philip conquered Greece and brought a new dictatorship to Greek lands. The democratic procedures of the Greeks didn’t live on in the Macedonian Empire.
6. What made Hellenistic culture unique? Hellenistic culture was different than most because it was a combination of cultures from different areas. It was the first culture was many cultures made into one. It was also unique because it had many different religions instead of just one. Hellenistic culture was very unique.
