What happened at the Death of Alexander the Great
Alexander III of Macedon, who had conquered the Persian Empire and pushed his army as far as India, fell ill after a period of feasting and fever in Babylon. He died there without a clear plan for succession, having reportedly said his kingdom should go "to the strongest." His generals could not agree on a single heir, and his vast empire was soon carved up among rival commanders known as the Diadochi, whose wars lasted decades. The Hellenistic kingdoms that emerged, including those of the Ptolemies in Egypt and the Seleucids in Asia, spread Greek culture across the ancient world.
