If in ancient China was a powerful empire that dominated the East, then in the development of the countries in the world at that time, Alexander the Emperor should be said to be the most brilliant star, he conquered a large area of land with unparalleled military talent, making the Macedonian kingdom the most extensive country in ancient times, even larger than the combined land of the seven warring states of the same era, but unfortunately Alexander Emperor finally died at the age of 33.
Alexander the Emperor did not stop after the conquest of Persia, although he found that the persian sea power was stronger than him, but he did not choose to strengthen the construction of his own navy, but adopted another way of land attack, gradually encroaching, Alexander Emperor from the present-day Turkish region, all the way to conquer Syria and Palestine, and defeat Egypt, until this time Alexander emperor returned to the army to destroy Persia, in fact, at this time the kingdom of Macedonia has been unprecedentedly powerful under the leadership of Alexander the Emperor.
But he was not satisfied, because he had a powerful country until far east, in fact, from our point of view today, he was actually referring to China, when China was split into seven pieces, fighting each other endlessly, in fact, for Alexander, it was also a unique opportunity, but it was obvious that he did not reach China, but after destroying India, he stopped his footsteps, and finally died of illness?
Many people analyze why after the destruction of India, Alexander stopped his footsteps, in fact, there are many reasons.
Some people think that Alexander actually took the wrong road, because according to the analysis of the situation on the map, Alexander had already marched to the Pamir Plateau, which was known as the "Green Ridge" in ancient China, although the ancient Chinese Silk Road was along the Pamir Plateau into Central Asia, but this road is not very good, and in the process of going south, Alexander also found that this place is relatively high, especially the towering Himalayas. So Alexander thought he had come to the end of the world.
Because of the terrain, Alexander did not lead his army into China, he stopped his footsteps but led his army directly south, destroying India, most likely, at that time, Alexander mistakenly believed that the India he destroyed was the country of the East, so he mistakenly thought that he had conquered the whole world, so he stopped.
However, there is also a possibility, that is, Alexander Emperor originally wanted to destroy India first, and then reorganize the army, from his later behavior, he did have to integrate the people of Europe, Asia and Africa into a complete country, perhaps he thought that the ancient empire of the East was not easy to mess with, so he was determined to rectify for a period of time, after all, at this time he was only thirty years old, he had time, and he could afford to wait, but what he did not expect was that Alexander's life expectancy stopped at 33 years old, and after his death, because he did not specify an heir, This led to the disintegration of this vast empire
