Ungreat or Great?
Historical figures are painted out by history books over time to be good or bad. Alexander the Great, is obviously deemed a powerful mighty ruler, judging by just his name. However, behind every evil dictator or beloved ruler is discussion over whether they deserve it or not. After all, there are some people who argue that Hitler was a good ruler. This article explores the negatives to Alexander the Great, and how he does not deserve to be respected. It talked about how he was not an ideal king, and he caused the death of many of his own men. Alexander The Great was immature and would sulk when he did not get his way. He forced his men through a desert, ill prepared, and they ended up killing their baggage animals for food. Washington exposes the ugly side to Alexander the Great, thus questioning his title. This can be done for any ruler, there is always evidence to argue good and bad, it just depends on how you look at it.
