Alexander The Great (Or was he?)

How did the Peloponnesian War lead to the conquests of Phillip II of Macedon?

The Greeks were weakened and divided by the Peloponnesian War. (Which ended in 404 BCE.)

What was Phillip's grand dream? Why was he unable to pursue that dream?

To conquer the Persian Empire. Because he was assassinated before he could turn his army on Persia.

Just how far was Alexander able to conquer? What factors allowed him to be so stunningly successful?

Really Far. From Greece to India plus Egypt.

Just how far was Alexander able to conquer? What factors allowed him to be so stunningly successful? He inherited a very well trained army from his father. He was a brilliant general whose men loved him. The Persian Empire was weak and divided.

Many historians argue that the greatest achievement of Alexander was the spreading of Greek culture and mixing it with Persian culture. What are some examples of this?

Assimilation of Greek ideas by Asians and Asian ideas by Greeks. Built his capital in Alexandria, Egypt – it became a huge cosmopolitan city. Expanded roles for women.

What were some of the key advances in Hellenistic arts and sciences?

Mathematics – Pythagoras and Euclid. Astronomy – Heliocentric solar system. Archimedes – Inventory and engineer. Medicine – Hippocrates “Do no harm.” Philosophy – Stoicism.
