Conquered the entire known world, was undefeated in battle, destroyed Persia, Greece's greatest enemy no problem, and only stopped because his men wanted to go home.

he was a white man who went around putting non-whites in their place.

It's like when you nickname the fat guy Tiny

>>135473966
he thought big and made his vision a reality

>>135473966
he conquered the whole world at 25

>>135473966
He was not great. He was a multi-culti general. Anyone with an army of whites behind them can take the world over. He was just a liberal douche

Is that really him? I thought he was Nordic blonde hair blue eyed. That's what varg told me anyway.

>>135474516
>persia
>not white

>>135473966

nothing really. His father was great. good old phil kicked it and handed 20yo alex the keys to the ancient equivalent of the 1940 Wehrmacht.

his generals could have done it all without him, to the same effect. also darius III was a puss and ran from a flagging battle twice. So that helps when the enemy leader just straight books it.

Persians aren't white. They're brown they're one of the brownest ethnic groups in Iran

yeah but the thing is all he did was conquered shit but for what reason exactly? at least cyrus invented that cylinder democracy thing. without cyrus i don't think any western culture would've happened

That nigga was literally one of the greatest military tacticians/strategiests that ever lived.

only stopped because he died of fucking alcohol poisoning or liver cirrhosis

No he didn't, he was into his own mom. But Aristotle DID deflower his boipucci.

>>135475010
i'm refering to back then. now it's sort of mixed but they still have some persian genes (some of themat least). if italy can still be considered white despite being raped by sandniggers then so can persia.

>>135475032

what are you talking about mate

greeks invented democracy, and they didn't even like it, and we don't even like it today

Alexander was the world's first liberal. He encouraged multiculturalism and even married a brown woman, and encouraged his soldiers to do the same.

Persians were never white. All the preislamic artwork depicts brown skinned people with dark hair. There are still Persian zoroastrian communities in Iran that never mixed with anyone in isolated communities like Yazd and Kerman they're as brown skinned as everyone. Iran was never white.

>>135475454
His wife was Persian and all his generals married Persians. He wanted to create a new empire that was Hellenistic mixed with Persian

>>135473966
he devoted his life to the removal of kebab

>>135475454
Not his mother. One of his wifes was from the sand tribes.

>>135473966
He inherited the world's best military which his father had built and then invaded Persia easily defeating army after army. Persia was going through its own internal wars and couldn't really organise itself properly. Alexander's army was probably the best army in the world right up until the Mongols appeared almost 2000 years later

>>135475695
Aryan means noble in their language it has nothing to do with whiteness. Hitler borrowed the word to talk about his Germanic race.

>>135476068
His dad built the army intending to fight the Persians with it and Alexander just kept going forwards with it. The Greeks didn't know much about Persia other than it was huge and wealthy. They didn't even know the city of Persepolis existed when they invaded. Which was one of persias 4 capitals.

>>135475695
Aryan was a term invented and used by non-white people living in ancient northern India/Persia. The same non-white people live there today. When you call yourself an aryan your are larping as poo in loos and swarthy iranic peoples..

>>135476101
The Indo European migration of horse riding nomads began from Ukraine about 9000-12000 years ago. And went through Russia back down through central asia. About 4000 years ago they split some of them going in Iran and conquering it and some taking northern India and Pakistan. The languages have remained Indo European but genetically nothing really changed because it was a small amount of nomads conquering many cities. This is how Asian history always out. Settled cities conquered by horse riding nomads every several hundred years.

>>135475228
That's bc they had trouble getting oil. Wehrmecht was the greatest army in ww2.

Weren't they invaded or something?

>>135476607
No it wasn't. This is just a meme from Hollywood and videos games to make things more entertaining. They didn't even have a mechanised supply chain and relied on 600k horses. As to oil well funny that the Soviets were building light weight aluminium engines running on diesel, diesel being the rejects of the petroleum processing. The German army of WW1 was a far more polished, organised and trained force than of WW2. The Germans only did as well as they did in WW2 because nobody else was prepared and everyone has to scrambke their shit together

They were never allies. Hitler and Stalin signed a non aggression pact which means a guarantee not to attack each other.

Read a book on it. First of all they weren't allies. It was just a non aggression pact.

Hitler wanted lebensraum (living space). He always intended to invade Russia for its fertile western lands. He had defeated France and the war was still going on with britain. Hitler knew Britain was hanging onto the hope that they could get the USSR to ally with them against Germany. Stalin knew this too but didn't want anything to do with their war because the Red army was entirely unprepared. Hitler figured if he quickly knocked out the USSR it would force Britain to the negotiating table and he could get a truce. Hitler expected the USSR to collapse in weeks as did pretty much everyone. The strength of the USSR caught everyone off guard.

>>135478613
He didn't start moving industry to Siberia until after Germany invaded. It's possible stalin wanted to eventually back stab Germany but nobody knows this.

>>135478933

>>135473966
He's basically just a meme. He inherited the world's most powerful army aged 20 and used it to conquer the known world by 25 but somehow couldn't use the same army to hold it together for more than 2 years.

It's like people who say Trump is a good businessman, yet if he invested his inheritance in a index-backed mutual fund he would have at least three times his current net worth i.e. any old Tom Dick or Harry could have been a better businessman if given the hundreds of millions he was.

>>135479174
No that is the reason why Hitler attacked the ussr when he did. He wanted lebensraum which he wrote about in his book and he also wanted to kill any hope Britain has for winning the war and get them to truce.

How can you say books contain non truths when you've never actually read one?

Without a central authority figure, the command structure fought each other, which prevented firm control from being implemented and thus the empire crumbled. Kill yourself leaf.

So you're saying he didn't actually conquer the territory in the first place, then?

How does that help prove your point?

Because Hitler didn't have a good means to invade the UK. And he most likely didn't want to. He had designs on eastern Europe, not on Britain. I already explained to you his reasoning for invading the USSR when he did. In fact on youtube there's a recording of him discussing this partly. It is the only known recording of his voice while not giving a dramatic orchestrated speech

>>135473966
He wasn't Greek. He pounded the shit out of Sparta, Thebes, and Athens.
He had "golden hair" some say. He was not gay, he even denied two young men presented to him by his generals and reprimanded them exclaiming "What kind of king do you think I am?"
He conquered with his army partially because of divine right, his father's will, his father's legacy, lust for riches and power, nothing better to do, further advance himself as the "cool kid".
Beloved by his generals, beloved by his men, feared by Persians and Greeks alike. Killed a ton of poos. Subdued the most difficult and well defended cities and peoples in the Middle East.

>a perception of manifest destiny
>fuck Persia
>wanted to be a living god (Pharoah, which he did)
>seriously, fuck Persia

And frankly, if the ball is rolling and fate keeps tossing you a good deal, why stop? He made it to INDIA. From Macedonia, to Egypt, to Persia, to motherfucking India, Alexander the Great forged the start of what could have been a global, cosmopolitan empire.

He built cities and libraries, spreading algebra and knowledge as far as they could. Had he not died we would likely have a very different world today. You know Roman stuff is the basis of a lot of Western civ? latin is our legal and scientific language, we use Roman god names for planets, etc? Had Alexander not died, we would be seeing Greek instead, except instead of it being limited to Western civilization it would have stretched from Greece to India, and maybe beyond if he decided to conquer again.

Imagine a global empire from the Iberian peninsula to the Tibetan plateu, or even into China if he wanted to. THAT is what Alexander could have feasibly achieved. He conquered everything he came across, only succumbing to disease (depending on the source, either malaria, injuries from combat, or sex/alcohol have all been suggested).

He is the image of a living warrior-god up until he died at Babylon.

Oh, and he was in his 30s by the time he conquered all that.

>>135479507
It wasnt unreasonable to claim. He was declared Pharoah when he conquered Egypt. That makes him a living god, per Egyptian theology. He had an incredible ego, but when your army is virtually unstoppable and when you were bred for greatness (he had great instructors and his dad Phillip basically left him the best army around), it is easy to imagine a young man getting swept up in his pride like fucking Vegeta.

If France didn't go retard mode and actually scouted the Arden they would have seen a mass of German troops and could have easily moved troops to defend, easily winning them the war.

>>135482633
He legitimately probably could have if he hadnt died. It's insane the level of non-stop successes he had.

Whether his success as a conqueror would translate to success as a ruler is a bit different; if he proved to have Augustus Caesars' or Vespasian's mind for administration Alexander would probably have gone down as a near-mythic human, perhaps worshipped as a god to this day, Jesus or no.

He likely would have, he had a mind for infrastructure and spreading knowledge. If anything, he'd probably start running into money problems; cant loot indefinitely.

A reborn, modern Alexander would be a very, very interesting change of pace.

I wonder how the world would look, or how it would change how he acts. He seems the type to trigger people through his actions all day, erry day.

Hitler never viewed Stalin as an ally but rather a useful idiot. He constantly tested him and Molotov to see how militarily savvy they were - and they both kept failing. When Hitler invaded Romania and took over their oil wells and molotov didn't even react at all to that notion, Hitler knew that the soviet leadership was retarded.

He wanted to Blitz moscow, and because of at the time Russia entire fucking country was centered at moscow was basically the only objective needed to take over Russia. Also nobody expected Stalin to so willfully disregard 10s of milions of his soldiers and just throw bodies at Hitler until he stagnated.

Invading the USSR was a smart move, Hitler literally just got unlucky because he didn't face a bright man, but rather a mad man - you simply don't expect such people to be at the head of a state.

>>135485394
Civilisation came from the Ancient Near East, but the culture was developed by Greece.

A good example of this would be the Greek language itself - Indo-European, yet evolved and developed by Greek City-States.
