How did Alexander the Great's conquests lead to the rise of a new civilzation?

Answer 1

Well before Alexander the known world was divided. One part was the autocratic Persian Empire. Another was the Greek World. See Alexander did two things. He combined the two and he had a vision of a united civilization combining the best of both worlds. Greece left to itself would have just developed Greek civilization, not much use as they thought themselves perfect. Persia left to themselves wouldn't have done any better. They also thought themselves the ultimate.
However, Alexander, by grabbing Greece by the scruff of the neck and bring it beyond it's borders, and by grabbing Persia by the scruff of the neck and conquering it, brought the two together. The Persians began to learn from the Greeks and become more liberal and the Greeks began to open their minds to the world and the fact that other civilzations were not just inferiior barbarians. By giving both a taste of power and the foretaste of better things Alexander fostered learning and put forward the idea that we could all work together. As in the ancient world the state (or rather the ruler) decided the course of civilization, Alexander's empire being so huge, brang in a bit of his vision of a new global civilization. He forced both worlds to cooperate and created the administative and logistics to product a new civilization- the hellinistic civilization. He also open up trade and communication. Even when he was conquering, it was a magnificant sight. An empire on the move dictated by the vision of one man. And he opened the all important silk road and his sucsessors kept it open for at least a century, before the comming of the Parthians. But most of all he shared his vision with humanity that humans could be one and that much more was possible. And he had the force to impliment it and he led by example. For example: intermarriage. Hope this helps you a bit.

Answer 2

Although he created the largest and quite possibly the wealthiest kingdom the world had ever seen, his achievements did not last long.
As soon as news of his death reached the far corners of his kingdom, commanders, ministers and anyone with power claimed themselves to be the new "king".
The Empire quickly splintered into many smaller kingdoms such as Pontus, Selucia, Egypt, Greece and Macedonia.
He spread Greek influence across the world, but within 50 years no trace of Greek civilisation in the places he conquered remained.

Answer 3

Alexander was in love with everything Greek.. he wanted to bring that everywhere he went and I beleive that he had acomplished in that goal. Even though his kingdom was broken up between his top generals, they all held Greek views.. Greek objects and the Greek way of life. He brought in the trade routes that people actually craved the spices from the East and trade goods from the West. I hope this helps any.

The Penis, mighter than the sword

By interbreeding with subjective peoples, the greeks shared true democracy.

Answer 5

I don't know about "new," but he spread the Greek influence throughout much of Europe, Asia, and Northeast Africa.

Answer 6

I'm not sure that it did. His conquests were whirlwind. When he died his vast Empire was split up amongst his warring generals.
