Complete Answer:
Alexander the Great of Macedonia, died in the palace of Nebuchadnezzar II, in Babylon, on either 10th or 11th June 323 BC at the age of 32. Alexander the Great was the king of Macedonia. He belonged to the Argead dynasty. Born in Pella in 356 BC, Alexander succeeded his father, Philip the second, to the throne in 376 BC at the age of 20. In his youth, Alexander was tutored by the Greek philosopher Aristotle until age 16. He spent the major part of his ruling years on an unprecedented military campaign through north east Africa and western Asia. By the age of thirty, he created one of the largest empires ever made in the ancient world, having conquered a vast area stretching from Greece to northwestern India.
He occupied the Achaemenid Empire (Persian Empire) in 334 BC. After that, he began a series of campaigns that lasted ten years. After the conquest of Anatolia, Alexander invaded Persia with a series of battles, among which the battles of Issus and Gaugamela were the most notable ones. He subsequently earned victory over the Persian King Darius III and conquered the Achaemenid Empire. Soon after, his empire stretched from the Adriatic Sea in the west to the Beas River in the east. Alexander invaded India in 326 BC. He won the Battle of the Hydaspes (326 BC) against the Pouravas, on the banks of Jhelum River. Finally, 3 years later, Alexander died in Babylon in 323 BC.
