How did Alexander the Great fight his battles?

The first battle against the Persians was at the River Granicus, after Alexander crossed the Hellespont. Then he defeated them again, this time they were led by their King Darius III, at the Pinarus River (known as the Battle of Issus) - Darius fled. Alexander then defeated them again at the last and final battle against Darius III, which was at Guagamela. After this battle, Darius fled again and was captured and assassinated by his own men. Alexander then proclaimed himself King of the Persian Empire.

Who did Alexander the great defeat?

The common answer is 'nobody', however there is a question mark over why, after allegedly defeating King Porus of Paurava, he gave his kingdom back back to him, conquered more land and gave it to him, and gave him the land of his own local ally King Taxiles of Taxila. It would seem that the Battle o Hydaspes was a best a draw, if not a defeat for Alexander, and the terms of settlement were that Alexander deliver land and service to Porus before being permitted to move on.


Who defeated Alexander the Great?

Did Alexander the great get injured at the battle of Hydaspes River as shown in the film Alexander?

Yes, almost 90% of that movie is true but legend is said that his mother pierced him with a bow and arrow, but the bow and arrow did not kill him, he returned to Macedonia and his mother poisined him, finally she won and killed him after also killing his father that's false... Alexander after the battle of hydaspes marched a bit further to India, where he saw the Indian kingdoms united against him and turned to Babylon. on his way or in the city of Babylon he got killed. some stories say that he was poisoned. in Egypt he got mumified and placed inside a glass coffin where everybody could admire this great personalit, leader and warrior. there are scripts that prove that this glass coffin was placed in Babylon and a lot of people traveled there to see it.
