     Alexander, our great leader, can conquer many lands and keep their cultures just as they are. Alexander has created Hellenism, his own blend of Egyptian, Persian, and Indian cultures. This blend has led to many different and new discoveries in geometry, and philosophy. He adopts new cultures and brings them together with his own. He doesn't take control of a new land and force the people to adopt a new way of life, he adopts ours. My life hasn't changed much under the rule of Alexander the Great.

    He has also founded the great city that is Alexandria. Alexandria is a great international community, we have many cultures blending together. Alexandria has brought so many great and new ideas and so many new ways to live. Great minds and great people have been brought together by a great leader, Alexander.

     Alexander the Great can be compared to many leaders, but one in particular is Adolph Hitler. His persuasion and influence on many people lead them to believe that he was a great and good leader with positive intentions. He was even  Time Magazine "Man of the Year" in 1938. He was a convincing leader, much like Alexander the Great. Hitler is a case where we see history repeat itself. Hitler is a simple repeat of Alexander the Great. Their greatness wasn't for the better of society, but it was great in the magnitude of their influence and persuasion.
