description of battlebattleoutcome
The Greeks revolted when a rumor spread of Alexander's death, leading to this battle, which consisted of a seige
Alexander crosses the river for which this battle is named, and his phalanx crushes the Persian center
Although this battle was almost lost when a gapped opened in his lines, Alexander's cavalry charge saved the day
This seige was difficult due to the city having been built on an island in a harbor, but Alexander's use of boats fitted with seige weapons led to his victory over this trading cit
A minor seige similar to the one mentioned above, this city was built on a high hill, but was eventually captured through many of the same tactics used at Alexander's earlier seige
Fought on a field cleared for the Persian's cavalry, Alexander's greatest battle involved his marching across into land better suited to his army
Alexander's last battle was fought in India against King Porus. Alexander crossed the river for which this battle is named at three different points, outflanking the Indians
