He came to power through a palace revolt and was leader for 56 years. His reign included numerous battles to subdue the Sumerian city-states and many further conquests including Mari and Ebla in Syria
(Doc. B). This empire had not messed with him or affected him conquering land, but Alexander saw an opportunity and jumped at it first chance he saw. Alexander did not think about the negative affect that was created by him conquering all this land, he just saw the opportunity to become more powerful, and make his empire one of the biggest. He wanted to set a legacy for himself, and did not care about how everyone else was
Hakor in Wikipedia Hakor, or Akoris, was the Pharaoh of Egypt from 393 BC to 380 BC. Hakor overthrew his predecessor Psammuthes and falsely proclaimed himself to be the grandson of Nepherites I, founder of the 29th Dynasty, on his monuments in order to legitimise his kingship.[2] While Hakor ruled Egypt for only 13 years, his reign is important for the enormous number of buildings which he constructed and for his extensive restoration work on the monuments of his royal predecessors.[2] Reign - Early in his reign, Hakor revolted against his overlord, the Persian King Artaxerxes. In 390 BC, he concluded a tripartite alliance with Evagoras, king of Cyprus, and Athens. This alliance led Persia to begin supporting Sparta in the Corinthian War, which eventually led to the ending of that war by the Peace of Antalcidas in 387/6 BC.
In Persia, Xerxes, Darius successor, was their corrupt leader for he ended religious tolerance and harshly repressed rebellions. He gained a reputation of cruelty and insensitivity. As a result of his inability to reign his empire, Alexander the Great took

King Ozymandias was "the king of kings" when he was still alive. Ozymandias also had a high ambition.

Andrew Jackson was more of a king for several reasons. First, the Indian removal act, because he went against the supreme court's ruling. Second, the Spoils System, how we went against congress and still with drawed the federal funds from the treasury. Finally, the Nullification Crisis and Compromise, the way he did not want the states to have the same type of power as the government.
Alexander was a villain because he kills family and did what had already been done. Alexander was a villain because he left the government undeveloped. Alexander focused more and conquering land than developing the land. Alexander died, the empire fell apart making the war unnecessary. Alexander could convince his men to do the craziest of things “Yet he never developed a successor.”
Another reason why he was a villain because he killed members of his family so that he would become the ultimate successor to the throne. This should never be how a king becomes the ruler of his kingdom, ever. Even though I believe that Alexander the Great is a villain, others may think he was a hero. They may think that because he had conquered so many other nations.
Alexander ruled over a huge empire. “He united over
It took Xerxes a total of 3 years to build his huge army to try and finally defeat the Greeks, for his father. After Xerxes built his army, the Persian army was tremendous, it included, Persians, Babylonians, Afghans, Indians, Assyrians, Ionians, Phoenicians, Syrians, Arabians, Egyptians, Ethiopians, Libyans, and many many more. “Herodotus reckoned it, without moderation, at 2,641,000 fighting men, and an equal number of engineers, slaves, merchants, provisioners, and prostitutes; he tells us, with perhaps a twinkle in his eye, that when Xerxes’ army drank water whole rivers ran dry” (Durant, Will. The Life of Greece. New York, NY: MFJ , 1939.
He was the figure of fun; he was always clumsy and awkward. Britain had resisted Roman rule for over a century, but was conquered by Claudius, who created client kingdoms to protect the frontier. He had succeeded where Caesar had failed. Although not the preferred choice of the Senate, Claudius proved to be an efficient emperor. His first act was to execute Cassius Chaerea and his co-conspirators, the assassins of Caligula.
The opposition to this argument is that kings are not always happy. In 320 BC – 329 BC Artaxerxes V ruled as the self-proclaimed “King of Kings” over Persia. His life as a king started with assassination of his king, so he could take power. His tenure as king consisted of complete and total chaotic war. His reign was ended by his defeat.
At this time, our civilisation was known as inferior to the Medes people and I wanted their long-lasting superiority to come to an end. So, In 550 BC, I, and the Persian army, went to war against Media, captured their King and overtook their kingdom, which Mark Grossman, a military historian, documented in his book, ‘World Military Leaders: A biographical Dictionary.’ After my success, I was gaining confidence in my potential as a great leader and had the desire to continue expanding my empire.
It is accepted that King Ahasuerus is the Persian king Xerxes I, who ruled from 486-465 BCE (Littman 145). However, this poses problems as it is known who Xerxes was, what he did, and who he married. Records say that Xerxes was married to a woman named Amestris, and there are no records of a Vashti or an Esther (Littman 146). The story portrayed in Esther explains the origin for the holiday Purim. However, it is likely that the story is metaphorical, and the holiday was adopted from the Babylonian New Year, which celebrates the gods Marduk and Ishtar’s victory against neighboring gods (Littman 147).
