Alexander the Great 2

(356 B.C-323 B.C) I interview a very interesting man by the name of Alexander III of Macedon but many people seem to call him Alexander the Great but this man has many great accomplishments and I found out what a lot of them we're and some of his personal life.
Q: Where and when were you born?
A: I was born in Pella, Greece in 356 B.C with my real name being Alexander III of Macedon.
What was your childhood like?
A: My father was the king of Macedon but besides that life was pretty ordinary until I was thirteen then I needed a tutor and my parents hired a guy known as Aristotle which was pretty cool to have as a tutor I learned a lot from him.
Q: How old were you when you inherited the kingdom?
A: My father was murdered by one of his guards when I was 20 so I imediatley inherited the kingdom.
Q: When did you start your conquest of most of Asia?
A: Right after I inherited the throne I felt as though I didn't have enough so I went and crushed a little rebellion in the Greek city states and to show that I meant business I just about destroyed the city of Thebes in 335 B.C killing most of the population and enslaving the ones that were spared.
Q:Where did you go from there?
A: I went on to conquer almost all of Asia and was even seen a the son of a god in Egypt.
Q: What impact do you think that this had on society in the future?
A: Well I expanded the boundaries of Europe and left behind  our culture in the conquered areas which can still be seen today.
