Do you think Alexander honestly felt like he was avenging Persian wrongs? Or was that just propaganda to mask his goal of conquest?

        I think Alexander began planning on getting revenge on the Persians, but it turned into something bigger. He began winning battles making him more confident. He traveled throughout the world killing people and conquering civilizations. In 333 B.C. he met the Persians on the battlefield. Alexander’s army was so strong and smart, they made their way through the Persians pretty easily. In a matter of minutes, Alexander was yards away from Darius, the Persian leader himself. Alexander the Great was such a powerful leader, conquered the entire known world at that time.
