Alexander the Great on the Fall of Egypt

Every once in awhile the world is given a leader who is able to accomplish great deeds and transforms or changes the world. Alexander The Great was one of these individuals. Alexander The Great was born in 356 BC and later became King of Macedonia when he was only twenty years old. He studied with Aristotle, one of the best known Greek teachers in world history. His goal was to conquer Greece's greatest enemy, Persia. He did this very quickly. He then continued his conquests and ultimately conquered Egypt. Alexander's conquest of Egypt led to fall of the Egyptian culture.
Alexander the Great conquered more land than anyone before. He conquered Macedonia, Egypt, Phoenicia, the Asia Minor, Babylon, Gaugameia, Ecatana, Susa, Persepolis, Parthia, Gedrosia, Alexandra (Kandahar), Alexandra (Herat), Alexandra (Ghazni), Alexandra (Merv), Alexandra Eskhate, Bactria, Bactra (Balkh), Sogdiana and Bucephata.
Alexander the Great had many goals in his life. He achieved them with good leadership and persistence. Many people thought that Alexander had good leadership skills which enabled him to conquer Egypt. He was considered to be a brave person, and had put himself in lots of danger when he conquered Egypt. Alexander the Great wanted to do more than just conquer. He wanted his empire to last. To guard against revolts and invasions, Alexander founded many colonies in the Greek way. These colonies were made up of Alexander's soldiers, and he encouraged his soldiers to marry local people. He himself married one, and led by example. Alexander was able to conquer Egypt, which was once the most powerful nation in the world. For many years Egypt and Greece had enjoyed a close bond with each other. Egypt had been profitable to Greek traders who had been going there since the 8 th century BC. Greek philosophers had gone to Egypt to study and Greek soldiers had helped the Egyptians rulers by the time Alexander came. Egypt had been taken over by the Persians. The Egyptians welcomed Alexander's invasions and gave in easily. Another example that Alexander was a shrewd leader was that he had respect for local religious customs. In Egypt he recognized the Egyptians gods and his own gods. He even visited a famous temple of Zeus-Ammon and had himself proclaimed the son of Zeus.
Alexander the Great died in 323 BC. After his death the Egyptian Empire fell apart, because people relied too much on his control and leadership. He changed so many things, for example, the Greek language, and the Egyptian script
changed, then it went back to it's original form to the creation of the kingdom.
Because of his conquest of Egypt. Egyptian culture declined. Even though Alexander respected Egyptian culture, he changed the language and customs of the Egyptians. This caused the Egyptian culture to decline.
