Today in class we took notes on Alexander the great. Since my project already required research on Alexander the great so I knew a little about this topic. First his father Philip 2 had conquered all of Greece. he was planning on invading Persia but was murdered before he could. Then Alexander came into power. Alexander was a great Tactician and was taught by the philosopher Aristotle. He vowed to lead out his father's promises. He lead his army into Persia successfully winning the first battle. The went and liberated Egypt where they crowned him pharaoh. His military used a mix of the phalanx and cavalry units. He went on to conquer large parts of Asia until he got to India. They had been fighting for 11 years and Alexander decided to turn around. The he became severely ill and died at the age of thirty-two.
Toady in class instead of reviewing the test we read and took notes on the next three sections. The first section was on the Rise of Christianity and talked about how Jesus' teachings spread. The most important reason they spread was because his teachings brought salvation to all. Christianity was a vision that a Roman emperor had before he went into battle. They won the battle and he made it so Christians would no longer be persecuted.
