Alexander the Great deserved to be called great. He did deserve to be called this because He conquered all of the Persian empire which therefore gained land for his empire. He also lead his men into battle instead of staying at the very back and doing nothing. He also was fearless

# data[].attributes.body
I don't believe that he deserves that title.
1)He stoned people to death for disagreeing with him or not doing exactly what he said
2) He forced people into marriage for his own political benefit.
3) He was power hungry and constantly killed and tortured people out of rage and greed.

Alexander the Great deserved to be called great for many reasons. From the vast number of reasons that proves that he deserves his title, three specific reasons stand out.

1. First, Alexander the Great deserves to be called great because he was a strong military leader. He fought against the Persians valiantly and even perfected the Phalanx. The Phalanx was an intricate military formation that was a contributing factor in Alexander's wins.

2. Next, Alexander the Great fought alongside his army. This shows loyalty to his men and his courage to fight. He could have easily ordered his men to fight while staying in a safe place, but he decided to fight with them.

3. Lastly, Alexander the Great was a respectful man. Though he executed many, he was able to show courtesy to his prisoners. When he captured King Darius's mother, wife, and daughters, he treated them with respect.

All in all, Alexander the Great deserves his title that shows his greatness. He was a strong, loyal, and respectful man. He was the one that caused the Persians' defeat, and that is most certainly great.

Alexander the Great did not deserve to be called the Great because he killed Greek mercenaries, even thought they begged for mercy, he killed and sold the citizens of Tyre, and he burned Thebes, while selling its citizens into slavery.

I think that he deserves the title of "the Great", even though many of his acts weren't heroic. Villains can be "great" to, depending on their impact on the world. Alexander could be a hero or a villian, but mostly he was a very smart and powerful man. Alexander has the title of "the Great" because he conquered his enemies empire alongside his men, and he spread greek culture around the world even after his death.  The third reason is that he also freed certain kingdoms from the King Darius, such as Egypt, who welcomed him with open arms. The question isn't whether his acts were moral, and what made him and hero or a villain. He deserves to be called "Great." because he was a very important person that changed to course of history. If he never did what he did, the word might have been a bit different.

# data[].attributes.body
Alexander the Great deserves to keep this title because of these three reasons:

1. He fought alongside his armies.
2. He conquered Persia at the measly age of 21.
3. He perfected the phalanx.

All of these were difficult tasks but Alexander was able to rise up and beat all of them!

Alexander the Great deserves his title because of his insane abilities. He was a strong military leader - he perfected the tricky phalanx position and he fought alongside his men in battle. Next, even though he was ruthless in battle, he was able to show courtesy and respect to his captives. When Alexander took King Darius's wife and daughters, he treated them with utmost respect and comfort. The same was with King Darius himself. After the king was brutally murdered, Alexander buried Darius near his own ancestors as a way of showing peace and respect. Lastly, Alexander was only the ripe young age of 20 when he ascended to the throne. Even with his young age, he was able to prove his worth by leading his army and taking down any and every opposition that stood in his way from conquering Asia Minor. Alexander truly took his father's dream and made it a reality. When Alexander died, his empire stretched from Greece to modern Pakistan.

Why Alexander the Great deserved to be called great. He should be called great for a number of reasons listed now.

1. He servers to be called great as he liberated those wanting / willing from the tyranny and forced military service of the Persians. The Persians often taxed and burnt towns in order to win military battles, Alexander liberated the people from the tyranny of that rule.

2. He never lost a single battle, not a single 1. He fought valiantly and bravely at each and every battle, often being the reason due to his strategies that a battle is won.

3. He fought by his men, unlike the Persian king who fled when danger approaches he fought with his men for his kingdom, not for himself. He strategized and planned with them as well to make sure a battle is won.

These are a few reasons why Alexander should be called great among many others

It's easy to agree the Alexander has made plenty great achievements but he has even more negative actions that cancel out the amazing achievements. No matter how "great" people think he is, there are so many actions he performed that are unforgivable. Some of them include:
1. When he took over the city of Tyre, he killed or enslaved all of the citizens of the city.
2. Even if the mercenaries begged for forgiveness and mercy, Alexander killed many if not all of them.
3. He forced his army to continue traveling long distances, ignoring requests to go home and advice.

He only thought of his own benefits for having a big empire, even though war constantly broke out. 2. He was ignorant because he sacrificed many lives. His soldiers pleaded to see their families one last time before they died of thirst, hunger, and heat, but he ignored their calls. 3. He was cruel because he destroyed Thebes and sold its people to slavery which proves him heartless.

Alexander the Great does deserve his title of great, Alexander the Great conquered the vast Persian army but instead of suppressing all the Persians Alexander allowed some of the Persians to proceed with their way of life and religion. Alexander the great made a great empire it was of Persians and Greeks; this empire was larger than the Persian empire ever was. Alexander the Great spread and accepted ideas and traditions through his life of conquest and rule and all these reasons are why Alexander deserves the title the Great.

Alexander the great deserved the title great of many reasons. Firstly, he fought with his army, and didn't watch like other military commanders. Secondly, he was a great military commander at just 21 years old, and lastly, He made darius himself, flee the battlefield

Alexander the Great didn't deserve to be called the great because he killed and tourchered many people. Some people might say that he was brave and smart but he also destroyed cities and killed his rivals. Once during a battle the greeks tried to surrender but Alexander killed them all. He forced people into slavery! I don't think that someone who killed many people should be called the great.

Alexander the Great deserved to be called "Great" because he fought with and led his army to victory in all of the battles he faced with minimal casualties. He also had any potentials threats or rebellions destroyed to protect his people who may have been endangered otherwise.

2. Killed and enslaved the citizens of Tyre after conquering it.
3. Had a lot of his viceroys executed because people said they were ruling unjustly.
4. Killed a loyal general over a drunken argument.
He did do some great things when it came to warfare but he was a pretty terrible person at other points in time.

# data[].attributes.body
Alexander the great did not deserve to be called great.
1. A first reason is he did not honor the original cause in which he had convinced his army to fight for. his original cause was to spread greek culture but instead ended up adopting many of the traditions and cultures of the persians who were the greeks greatest rival.

2. A second reason was he berned meny villegas and sold the citizens into slavery. He more often then not was very unkind to the people he conquered.

3. From the information I gathered he was not respectful of women. He Had many wives and arranged a mass wedding to marry all of his soldiers to persian royal women. this may have been acceptable at the time but he dose not deserve to be called Great.

# data[].attributes.body
Alexander the Great would go out of the way and stop fights in areas that could help another part of his army.
Alexander made sure his men where brave and strong by encouraging them.
Alexander would fight with his army and not just watch.

# data[].attributes.body
Alexander the Great did not deserve his title. Although he did have many great accomplishments, his bad actions outweighed the good. To start off, Alexander was convinced that his destiny was to rule the world. This seems like something a tyrant would believe. In addition, he also massacred the Greek mercenaries who were being forced to fight with the Persians. This shows that he couldn't even spare some of his own men. The last reason I have is that, after 8 years, Alexander never let his troops return home. They spent 8 years fighting for him, and he got angry after his army mutinied him! For all of these reasons and more, it's clear to see why Alexander "The Great" didn't deserve his title.

I think he should be called Alexander the Great because he fought and won many battles for his people, he helped form a good military strategy and formation, and he perfected the phalanx, a weapon that helped a lot in battle.

# data[].attributes.body
I think Alexander the Great deserves to be called great because of three reasons. He fought with his army, instead of watching them fight. He was fearless and courageous never afraid to attack the enemy, often taking them off guard by the attack. He perfected the phalanx, and used it to conquer all of Persia. The great things he did far outnumber the bad things.

# data[].attributes.body
1. Alexander the Great deserved to to be called great because died undefeated in warfare.

2. Alexander the Great also Perfected the Phalanx, and this was very important from a governmental point of view.

To this day, people and historians alike debate whether Alexander the Great was overrated or if he deserved his grandeur title. In my findings, I will prove the latter. First, Alexander was among the loyalest... In the video, they featured him fighting alongside his soldiers, yelling well calculated orders, and most of all, being there in the moment. This shows how invested he is in his people and his vision. By putting his life on the line, this is clearly shown.

Next, Alexander the Great was a man of determination… In the video, they showed viewers a map where they could see how quickly and effectively he conquered each chosen land. I must say, this is a lot for someone that is in his early twenties. He started training when he was only sixteen years old, and he has come so far in his work. This is only possible with a special mindset. He worked towards his goals as if he knew he could do anything he wanted to.

Lastly, Alexander the Great was one of the most influential people over the course of history. In the video, it talks about how Alexander the Great created Macedonia, one of the largest empires in the world and did it all while perfecting the phalanx. As a great military leader, a great emperor, as a great historical figure, Alexander the Great enriched our understanding of his time.

To sum it up, whether he was a hero or not, doesn’t matter in this case. His loyalty, determination, and overall importance to history leads me to the conclusion that he forever deserves to be “Alexander the Great.”

# data[].attributes.body
He deserved to be called great because he was able to take over the worlds biggest empire at 21 years old. Another reason he would be called great is that he fought with his army instead of staying back and watching his army fight. My third and final reason why he should be called great is that he inducted 30,000 youths to be trained into the Macedonian army.

1. He would go out of his way to stop fighting in a certain area so that he could go help another part of his army.

2. He would encourage his men to be brave and strong.

3. He would fight with his army leading them into battle instead of stayed far away sitting on a throne. He never fled battle so that he would live while others would die.
