Was he history's first globalist?

He told his soldiers to marry Persian women and become "New Persians." after sacking their capital. Had he lived longer, would he have encouraged mass Greek immigration to his new lands?
>>
>>2527706
He did have a plan for massive population transfers of Greeks and Persians into the other lands in order to merge the races of his empire. He kept a list of his soldiers who took Persian wives in order to give them a large payment. He himself had an Indian and two Persian wives, his half Indian son was unfortunately killed with his mother Roxana before he could come of age.

Thats not globalism at all. Globalism is more of an economic and legal doctrine than anything, with the movement of populations a byproduct of that. Alexander was one of historys more famous advocates of miscegenation.

Alexander had almost no time for pleasure. Almost his entire life was spent training, campaigning and handling logistics while at the same time trying to stop his generals from killing each other over who gets to rape more Persian women. Hell whenever he gave himself time off he would just drink liters of unmixed wine and trash the entire satrapy or burn down Persepolis. The guy was a freak.

Yeah he was a busy guy but making heirs is pretty important too, isn't it? I guess it's kinda understandable since he was young, maybe he wasn't in any rush, but it's not like it would take much time for him to get a few women pregnant.

Describing 'globalism' as an ideology while ignoring 'globalization' as a historical process is a mark of retardation.

Persia was becoming pretty globalist before Alexander.
They controlled almost half of the world's population under Darius and were surprisingly open to different religious beliefs.

Maybe he didn't want to be a father at that stage of his life? He probably wanted to wait until retirement (40s?) to settle down, all he did was party and fight, obviously still a kid inside

But he's right, it isn't a meme. Back then famines, plagues, wars, etc. were common enough to be a threat. You didn't just go to a doctor like today it you got a deadly disease, go buy shit at a grocery store, etc. That was why they died younger.

It's not about being ready to be a father, it's about making sure he has heirs. You don't need to be an involved parent to pump babies into women. I guess it's not known why he didn't really bother doing that, it was silly of me to ask.

Says who? You? You can't analyze history if you're going to paint everything with stereotypes and video game cliches.

Phillip and Alexander had a very rough relationship, I wouldn't place it outside the realm of possibility that Alexander didn't want to be in the same situation his father was in (he was). Alexander was tutored and privately taught so I'm sure he understood the significance a mentor and father figure would have on an heir, and perhaps he just had too many youthful ambitions to delegate importance to fatherhood at the time. He knew he was young, he planned an expedition to Arabia. His age of death is irrelevant to us, what we look at is context. He felt young, so he was young.
>>
>>2529334
>>2528970

You only talk about heirs because you KNOW Alexander dies when he does, he doesn't. Stop doing that. Alexander was young, defeated the strongest empire at the time, and thought he had his whole life ahead of him.
>>
>>2527706
Pretty sure Cyrus did globalism before Alexander did.

Any heir that he sired before leaving on campaign would have been raised by his mother, Olympias, and it's likely she would have turned the child against its father, just as she turned Alexander against Philip.

A better question is why he never nominated a successor in the event of his death. He certainly was exposed to enough danger that it would have been prudent. Hephaestion would have been the logical successor and the one Alexander would have named, but he died shortly before Alexander.

Mary Renault speculated (and I agree with her) that Alexander had a kind of psychological block when it came to his own mortality. At the deepest level of consciousness, he really didn't believe he could die. To even contemplate siring a child or naming a successor he would have needed to remove that block. If his death had been more drawn out, it might have happened. As it was, he probably died thinking he would somehow live forever.
