Alexander the Great of Macedonia died at whose hands

In the summer of 323 BC, Alexander suddenly fell ill and died, just as he was preparing for a new expedition. What disease took Alexander's life? Historians have many different opinions.

The first is that he died of a malignant disease, which the Soviet scholar Sergeev mentioned in "Ancient Greece". In the book "A New Biography of Alexander", the American scholar General Gohler believes that "Alexander contracted a malignant disease due to a long battle in the swamps, and died on the night of June 13." He didn't have time to leave a will, let alone specify who would succeed him, and Professor Wu Zijin, a historian of our country, held the same view.

The second view is that the famous British historian Herbert Wells believes: "In Babylon, Alexander once became drunk and suddenly fell ill with a fever, and from then on he fell ill and died soon after." The Encyclopædia Britannica also has this view:

After a long drinking feast, he suddenly fell ill and died 10 days later, on June 13, 323 BC. The third theory is that Alexander was killed by poison. In the ancient Greek historian Arian's "Alexander Expedition", it is said that Antipatrus gave Alexander a pair of medicines, and it was this medicine that killed Alexander.

It is also said that the medicine was contained in a mule's hoof shell and sent to Alexandria by Casander, the son of Antipatrus, and that Aristotle had prepared it for Antipatruus. Cassander's younger brother, Eolasri, was Alexander's Grail attendant. Since Alexander had wronged him not so long ago, he had always held a grudge.

But what made Alexander the Great, who was at the peak of his life and career, fall ill, and it is still unknown to this day, only for future generations to sigh in the face of the immortal feats he established.

In early June 323 B.C.E., Alexander suddenly fell ill with a fever in Babylon and died ten days later. He was not yet 33 years old. The cause of his death has long been the subject of constant controversy.

Most accounts of Alexander's malaria after a drink in Babylon, but typhoid fever may also be another case**. It is also theorized that he died of sneezing root poisoning, and that the conspirators may have included his wife Roxana, his subordinate Antipater, and his teacher Aristotle. But the theory of poisoning was questioned by people such as Robin Lane Fox because of the lack of long-lasting poison in ancient Greece.

Alexander's Empire was another name for the Kingdom of Macedonia during the reign of Alexander the Great.

Macedonia is located north of the Greek Hunger Ridge. More than 300 BC, Macedonia was a Greek city-state at that time, and the young Alexander inherited the throne of the king, and as the son of Zeus, he gathered an army and went on an expedition to the east, conquering all the way and conquering all the way, and established a powerful empire across Asia, Africa and Latin America, which was Alexander's empire, that is, the Macedonian empire.

Alexander's empire in 323 BC was the largest country in the world at that time, surpassing the combined territory of the Seven Heroes of the Eastern Warring States. Alexander the Great achieved unprecedented achievements in just 13 years.

Alexander the Great's expedition promoted the prosperity and development of ancient Greek culture and the exchange and economy of Eastern and Western cultures, integrated Eastern and Western cultures, encouraged marriage between ethnic groups, advocated equality of status between ethnic groups, and had a significant impact on the progress of human society and culture.

Alexander's empire was destroyed by his own people. Alexander's Empire was the name given to the Kingdom of Macedonia during the time of Alexander the Great, founded by the famous conqueror Alexander the Great. After Alexander's death, everyone wanted Alexander's power to be overturned, so they began to fight openly and secretly, and the empire fell into a state of fragmentation, and an unprecedentedly powerful empire only lasted for a short time before collapsing.

In 336 BCE, Philip II was killed by Persian Assassins at his daughter's wedding. Alexandre, the son of Philip II, succeeded to the throne at the age of 20 and defeated the anti-Macedonian movement of the Greeks by force and force, and the righteous Thebes was destroyed, the citizens were sold into slavery, executed, and exiled, and the land was divided among other states. Macedonia's political opponents were also eliminated.

Alexander the greatest (July 20, 356 BC – June 10, 323 BC), also known as Alexander III, king of the Kingdom of Macedonia (Alexander Empire), was born in Pera, the capital of the ancient Kingdom of Macedonia, and was a famous military strategist and statesman in the ancient history of the world. He was the head of the four greatest military commanders in European history (Alexander the Great, Hannibal Barca, Julius Caesar, Napoleon).

In early June 323 B.C.E., Alexander suddenly fell ill with a fever in Babylon and died ten days later, not yet 33 years old.

Alexander the Great may have died of the West Nile virus.

The latest research by American scientists has come to an astonishing conclusion that one of the greatest military commanders in history.

1. Alexander the Great, the king of the ancient Macedonian Empire, most likely died of West Nile virus infection.

According to the British scientific journal Nature**, the results were obtained by two American scientists through computer analysis. Alexander (356-323 BC) died shortly after falling ill in Babylon (not far from present-day Baghdad). The cause of his death has always been a mystery to historians.

He died of fever in Babylon. It is also believed to be typhoid fever and malaria.

In "Alexander the Great", he was "**" by the people around him.

The reason is that two monkeys destroyed a country that was Greece, and two monkeys brought about the death of 250,000 Greeks.

Alexander was in the park of the palace with his pet dog when he was attacked by a monkey his pet dog, and when he drove it away with a stick, another monkey came and bit him, and was attacked and bitten by a monkey while protecting his pet dog, and finally got sepsis and died 2 months later.

After his death, his father continued to succeed to the throne of Greece, but his father was a mediocre man, and other countries saw that Alexander was dead, and kept attacking Greece, and finally destroyed the country that Alexander had single-handedly conquered - Greece, and at the same time killed 250,000 Greeks.

This is the cause of his death.

Alexander withdrew from India, and his first view was that he got drunk at a banquet and suddenly developed a fever and fell ill from then on, and died soon after.

The second view is that he was poisoned by his generals, and the third is that he has been fighting in the swamp for a long time and contracted diseases.

In the summer of 322 BC, Alexander the Great died suddenly in Babylon. Historians of the cause of his death are divided, but it is recorded that Alexander died 10 days after the onset of fever, at the age of 33. However, under the level of medical care at the time, it was impossible to determine what disease he died of.

Is it the unconscious caused by drinking too much? Is it caused by a fever infection such as malaria? I don't know.

The more conspiracy theory is that he was poisoned, and in the ancient Greek historian's "Alexander's Expedition", it is mentioned that the red wine specially made for him at the drinking party was made by one of Antipanos's sons, Iolas, and this Antipano had just been dismissed by Alexander and was disgruntled, so he had the motive and opportunity to instruct his son to poison. But some historians believe that a chronic poison that could have killed people after 10 days was unlikely to have existed in that era.

It is not impossible whether Alexander the Great died of alcoholism or malignant disease, since the death of his friend, he was depressed and drank heavily, and no one could stop him, so he died unconscious due to alcoholism. There is also an explanation for the malignant disease, because Alexander fought in tropical swamp areas all year round, and when the wound was not disinfected, it was easy to suppurate and infect, so after returning home, it is likely that the rupture of a wound suddenly attacked, resulting in bacterial infection and death.

The latest explanation, Dr. Catherine Hall, a senior lecturer at the Dunedin School of Medicine, overturned all previous conclusions, arguing that the neurological disease Guillain-Barré syndrome (GBS) was the real cause of Alexander's death, an acute motor axonal neuropathy that caused his paralysis and thus death.

Alexander the Great had a magnificent life, an almost mythical figure, and during his reign of more than ten years, he swept through the entire Persian Empire, expanded its territory to the Indus Valley, and for the first time unified Greece and West Asia and North Africa in one country. If he hadn't died young, the world would have been a different story.

Historically, Macedonia existed more as a name for a geographical region in a broad sense. It is located in the south-central part of the Balkan Peninsula in Europe, bordered by the Albanian Mountains to the west, the Rhodope Mountains to the east, the Siya Mountains to the north, and the Aegean Sea to the southeast. Located in the core of the Balkans, the gateway to the Mediterranean Sea in the south, it has always been an important ** and military passage.

The ancient Macedonian Empire arose here, and was subordinated to the Roman Empire and then the Ottoman Empire. Geographically, Macedonia is divided into three countries. The Republic, which belongs to the Serbian part and is called Vardal Macedonia, the part that belongs to Bulgaria is called Piring Macedonia, and the part that belongs to Greece is called Aegean Macedonia.

The Macedonian region includes the independent Republic of Macedonia from the former Yugoslavia, the Macedonian region of northern Greece (including Central Macedonia, Western Macedonia, Eastern Macedonia-Thrace), and the southwestern corner of Bulgaria.

Alexander's empire was initially divided into four main parts (see image on the right).

The blue color is the Ptolemaic dynasty of Egypt.

Yellow is the Seleucid kingdom.

Green for the Macedonian kingdom of Cassander.

Orange is the Thracian kingdom of Lysimachus.
