Alexander the GreatEssay Preview: Alexander the GreatReport this essayAlexander Sutherland ags2794describe and analyse what you consider Alexander’s two greatest challengesIn today’s society we face many challenges in our early years, but none quite compare to the ones Alexander the Great had to deal with. His two greatest challenges were his relationship with his tyrant father, Phillip II, and his rise to power after Phillip’s death. Phillip II and his son Alexander had a very dramatic father and son relationship. Phillip started off as a good father, giving his son the best education possible in the form of Aristotle when Alexander was thirteen years old. However, Phillip would later fall in love with Cleopatra Eurydice. This made Alexander’s position as heir to the throne. Adding insult to injury, Attalus, the uncle of Chleopatra prayed to the Gods for a legitimate heir. This irritated Alexander to such an extent he would throw his cup at Attalus. This enraged Phillip so much that he would have killed Alexander, but Phillip had had a lot to drink and this caused him to fall over. Alexander would mock Phillip for this attempt, criticizing his leadership skills. Alexander and his mother would go into self-exile, going to Macedon. Whilst in exile, Alexander would hear that his half-brother was offered to marry the governor of Persia’s daughter which gave Alexander and his friends the idea that Phillip intended on making Alexander’s half-brother the heir to his throne. This lead to Alexander contacting the governor of Persia and offering himself to his daughter. When Phillip heard of this he was infuriated. He wanted a better wife for Alexander. As punishment, he banished Alexander’s closest friends. This rough relationship made Alexander’s growing up tough, but Alexander and Phillip’s relationship did not go to a level where Alexander did not mourn Phillip’s death.
When Phillip II was killed by Pausanias, it left some question as to who would take the throne. Alexander, however, was going to leave anything to chance. He eliminated potential rivals; he had his cousin executed and two princes of Macedonia. He also had to kill Attalus because Olympia had killed Cleopatra and her baby. This made Attalus too dangerous a threat to keep alive. This, in my opinion, is Alexander’s second greatest struggle of his early years. Alexander was a warrior, he had killed on the battle field but ordering innocent men to be killed is a different matter. Alexander, at a young age had to become ruthless. One of the biggest differences between a weak leader and a successful one is ruthlessness. A leader has to do whatever it takes. This must have been tough for Alexander to learn and is a massive turning point in his career. If he fails to acquire ruthlessness he may not have gone down in history as Alexander The Great.
Hollywood: The Movie’s Role in ‘The War of the Century’
In the film The War of the Century Alexander is one of the three generals to capture the new empire. He is portrayed by the Hollywood legend John Cho who also plays King Andrew I.
Hollywood: The Movie’s Great Battles to Defeat Hitler
The battle of World War I saw Germany take advantage of her Allies’ vulnerabilities by having a German Army capture three of the major cities of Europe. The city of Dresden was a major stronghold for the Allies, so the Germans had to hold off this push. The Germans captured large swaths of the city and the Germans had an opportunity to take control of the entire city, so they simply had to take it with them. At the same time, in the process of taking the city, the Germans started to take advantage of the weakness of the remaining troops of the German forces. After the cities of Dresden, Leipzig, and Potsdam were captured, the Allies lost all but a portion of their forces, along with a large part of their main fortress at the Breitmarkstrasse. At this point the Germans were already at the forefront of the campaign.
The War of the Century: ‘The Battle of Dresden’
At one point during the campaign all of Europe was seen as in chaos. Most of Europe was in ruins, except for Sweden, Germany, Denmark, and Denmark being the last bastions in which to try and do everything in their power. It will be interesting to compare and contrast the events in this movie with those that transpired over the course of the War of the Century.
With that in mind, we have the following facts and figures:
This movie tells the story of how the Germans and others at the time were able to take great advantage of the weaknesses in the German military. It is also tells the story of who the German generals were back in World War I.
This film shows how the Germans did it. In his memoirs, Alexander (Alexander the Great), he says that he learned of the plot by his French friend Paul Vachon who had come to him with their new leader, Napoleon III, and that he was sent immediately to the capital city of Gdansk, Poland. On his arrival within the city, Vachon saw the German General Dormant sitting for a small meeting of German generals and sent him off on a tour of Europe. Dormant didn’t notice the visit until Vachon started to explain Hitler’s reasons for invading the Baltic states. Alexander was not about to tell his story. He asked the generals for a short talk, but they insisted on waiting a little. Dormant asked Alexander, with a lot of respect, why he refused to do it. Alexander thought he was just kidding.
Alexander told the veterans their reason: because the Germans were ready to invade the Baltics if they could be beaten up. Dormant was concerned for his country’s security. Alexander began to show signs of being afraid of Germany, but he quickly understood that he was losing the war. Then Dormant, at the climax of the conversation, spoke of his victory over Hitler: “I will return with victory!”
Alexander also tells the veterans that he will continue to make them laugh at the war. He told them that he will make them proud and proud to have won the war. He also says a very important fact about the war: if there was an agreement between Germany and the European army that allowed it to attack this land, it would be allowed to take it and do it.
He also talked about how he will “defeat Hitler
