I know Alex was great but man don’t live long to watch is empire

ChiefJusticeFuc:
Go read up on how Alexandria conquered all of the then known world with a handful of Greek warriors.

He achieved this feat before he was 30! And he is credited to expanding and creating the Greek empire which will later birth the Roman empire.

The man conquered Persia, Egypt, Asia Minor and India.

That saying about Afghanistan being the graveyard of Empires does not apply to Alexandra because he is the only known General to have conquered the land and marched head-on to India. If not for his soldiers missing their family and wanting to enjoy the spoils of their conquest, Alexandra would have marched right down to China crossed the sea into Japan and started another round to conquer both the pacific and new world (America).

The man was a genius who all warriors past and present worship.

Coronabirus:
Alexander led his well trained , well organized powerful army and defeated all those u mentioned, therefore he can't be as strong as Khalid Bin Walid who did better with little, unorganised army and won more battle than Alexander. Khalid won in battles that he was 90% weaker than his enemies. Alexander is strong warrior nondoubt but he was stronger because of the support he has for having large army.

Who made this stupid list without the Spartans military?
Spartans and the Rome military were one of the best the world have ever see.
Where is the Persia military?

Brilliant.
The Mongolian war led by Genghis Khan is one if not the most brutal war ever.
The war that claims 3/4 of the present Iran population and roughly 11% of the world's population. Claiming 40milions of lives.

The world has really evolved, it'll be almost impossible for a way to kill more than 40milion of people now except biological war.
Moreover, during those times, there was no gun or bomb that could hasten to kill as that much, they were fought with swords and arrows.

Imagine how strong they were then, it really shows power doesn't last forever, now the Mongolians do not even rate in top twenty of the world's most powerful countries.

Egypt has also ruled the world for centuries, yea, for thirty centuries with technology, knowledge, and a lot of civilizations, now who is Egypt , she's nothing now.. That's y I laugh at people who say no one will be able to defeat America. America hasn't even ruled up to a century.
The ruler of today will certainly not be later on. A new rule and rulers will evolve.

Who'll even believe that countries like Iraq was once the most powerful in the world. The ancient Babylonia was in today's Iraq.

The lesson is: Whenever you're there, thread with ease like you'll no longer be there tomorrow (obviously).

The elephants of India withstood his horses,there is nothing he could do in that jungle.
Wise generals knows 5heir limits.
Genghis Khan stood before India for months without an Indian army opposing him but decided to go back.
Alexander stood before Jerusalem for weeks and went back without attacking.
Cambyses thought Ethiopia was too small and attacked Ethiopia,he was roundly defeated.
Know your limits

Alexander was great indeed but by any logic he would not be able to scratch Indian or Chinese empires, they were too massive for them.
Unfortunately in this continent we are taught western books, If read ancient Chinese, Indian or Persian books we can have a clear picture.

The Original Chinese Don't Exist Anymore
2 out of the last 3 dynasties of China were ruled by foreign conquerors. Let that sink in. TWO out of the last THREE. Even before the Mongols came along, the northern half of China was ruled by foreign conquerors for almost 700 years. In fact, the Jin dynasty that the Mongols conquered was already ruled by foreign conquerors (the "Jurchens" who themselves had replaced another dynasty of foreign conquerors (the "Khitans" to become the rulers of the northern half of China. Keep in mind that the northern half of China is the more important half, as it contains the original heartland of China while the south was originally a frontier land. The Khitans and Jurchens alone brutally enslaved the Chinese for more than 300 years. Even the Tang dynasty, considered the golden age of China, originated from foreign-ruled dynasties.

After the fall of the Han dynasty, the northern half of China was repeatedly conquered by various foreign invaders for almost 300 years during a time of total chaos and suffering. The foreign "barbarians" came in wave after wave, replacing previous conquerors and running a train of rape and destruction on the enslaved Chinese population.

After suffering almost 3 centuries of nonstop rape by all those different foreign ethnicities, the Chinese in the northern half of China became completely mongrelized. The genuine "Han Chinese" were raped or race-mixed out of existence in the northern half of China by that point and only larpers with fabricated genealogies remained. Eventually, one of the northern barbarian-ruled dynasties conquered the rest of China and then transitioned into the Tang dynasty.

The rulers of Tang were ethnic Xianbei mutts who larped as Han Chinese. The Tang dynasty may have been culturally sinicized, but most of its population—including the rulers and the elite—had already been racially mongrelized by hundreds of years of rape and enslavement by hordes of different barbarians.

In the middle of the multi-ethnic Tang dynasty, an Indo-European general named An Lushan started a civil war that has been called the second deadliest conflict in history after WWII. Some scholars claim that 36 million people died, or 1/6 of the world's population. Regardless, about 2/3 of China's entire population was killed or displaced. An Lushan tried to conquer all of China and even Indo-Europeans, Uyghurs, Tibetans, and Arabs got involved, raping and massacring the defenseless population of China and further mongrelizing the already mongrelized "Chinese race." This is the war in which 30,000 civilians were eaten during a prolonged siege. By the time the siege ended, only 400 civilians remained. Cannibalism has a long and continuous tradition in China, look it up. The Tang dynasty never recovered from this war and declined.

Once the Tang dynasty collapsed, the northern half of China was again conquered by foreigners. The Khitans and Jurchens enslaved, oppressed and exploited the Chinese for more than 300 years. The Jurchens were especially brutal. In the "Jingkang Incident," they captured the Song dynasty capital and massacred, raped and enslaved the entire population, including the royal family of China. The emperor himself and 14,000 elites were forced to march all the way to the Jurchen capital, where they all became slaves or sex slaves. The Jurchens ruled the northern half of China with an iron fist, but they were eventually replaced by the Mongols, who conquered all of China.

The Mongols enforced a rigid caste system in which the "southern Chinese" were placed at the absolute bottom, below the "northern Chinese." The northern Chinese elites were not ethnically Chinese; they were the descendants of the foreign invaders who had repeatedly conquered the northern half of China for centuries. The rest of the population was a mongrelized byproduct of centuries of rape and race-mixing that irreversibly and forcibly changed the gene pool of China.

TylerDurden:
The Mongol Yuan dynasty was eventually ousted by Chinese peasants. The first emperor of the Ming dynasty was originally a homeless bum. After all that time being dominated by foreigners, the actual Chinese finally ruled all of China ... but not for long. Northern foreigners called the "Manchus" conquered all of China and established the Qing dynasty, which is the last dynasty in the history of China.

The Manchus were extremely cruel to the enslaved Chinese population. They brutally imposed a national hairstyle called the "queue," which was essentially a circumcision of the head that symbolized Chinese enslavement to the Manchus.

The Chinese resisted the "queue" fiercely, leading to a decade of gruesome massacres against them. Entire cities were wiped out. For almost 300 years until the end of the Qing dynasty, it was illegal to not have a "queue" upon punishment of death.

The Manchus even had the most brutal and oppressive "literary inquisitions" in the history of China. A single word of criticism about the Manchus—even implied—from a single Chinese person would lead to his entire village being executed. "Death by a thousand cuts" was especially popular during the Qing dynasty.

Ironically, the "Han Chinese" are actually proud of their historical enslavement to the Manchus. Uncle Changs brag that the Han Chinese played an important role in the Manchu conquest of China and aided the Manchus in their rapes and massacres of millions of innocent Han Chinese. The shameless Han Chinese even boast that the Manchus were benevolent masters and worship Manchu emperors such as Kang Xi, proving without a doubt that the Han Chinese are a natural slave race, which is why Imperial Japan degradingly called them "chankoro," meaning "Qing's slaves." Manchu rule of China finally ended in 1912, but it's been well documented that for years afterward many Han Chinese were still terrified to cut their "queue" in fear of possible retribution by their former Manchu masters.

the greatest general ever, Hannibal Barca,son of Hamilcar Barca,an African of Zidon,who controlled the Iberian peninsula pre Roman times

No western general had ever successfully replicated his double envelopement maneuver without suffering friendly fire.
But he is an African so it's not good to mention him so that Africans will keep thinking little of themselves.
The Assyrian army happens to the most effective of all times,an overflowing deluge,when they come across a river,they will use inflated skins to cross the river.
Romans learnt how to be wicked from Assyrians but the Romans didn't graduate.

ChiefJusticeFuc:
The entire Indian Sub-continent was conquered by a relatively small band of Arab-Persian Jihadists that saw to Pakistan, Sri Lanka and Bangladesh becoming permanently Muslim.

As for China, that nation has been the most invaded and conquered region and people in the history of the world.

Alexandra would have raped his way to Japan where he would have been stopped by Samaria warriors.
See this thread about the Chinese and know why Alex would have made it a Greek vassal if his Generals never revolted.

When alaxander reached borders, it was 327 BC and Most of India was controlled by Magadha empire.

When Muslim invaders came, it was 649 AD more then 1000 years gap ( during Muslim invasion India had 89 empires and those were always trying to destroy each other.) I hope you got the difference of That India and India during muslim invasions and i hope you got my point as well. Same with china

Add On: When British came there were 230 kingdoms in India.

This tells us the importance of central authority.

ChiefJusticeFuc:
Central authority are always totalitarian and can be balkanized from within simply by signing alliances with sub-groups wanting to break free from the central and remote authority.

Central authority spanning a diverse empire may appear all powerful on paper but they have nothing in comparison to Republics like that of Ancient Greece which had no central authority and had semi-independent states like Sparta, Athens and Macedonia.

The Romans maintained this political setup with no central govt or military until Julius Caesar destroyed it and from there the empire descended into madness.

Alexandria would have decimated the Indian sub-continent just as he did the Xerxes empire.

rationalhuman:
It did not happen so all we can do is just assume and imagine.

But your views about central authority looks correct in modern times, No wonder some people want BIAFRA.
