Answer 2

Had Alexander the great never been born , his brother Philip III would have taken power after his father King Philip of Macedonia died . He would have been brought to power at the same time , and similar political goals ( the defeat of Persia ) . It is extremely unlikely that he would have attempted a conquest of India ( like Alexander the great did ) . Alexander The Great died of a tropical disease caught in India , but it is impossible his brother would have caught this as he didn't even travel to India . This would mean no civil war , no Seleucid empire , and he would probably have a child who would lead after him . Those in Eurasia and the Arab peninsula were nomads , and would pose no threat to the empire , and no reason to expand in these directions . Although having no major cities , strategic impact or being of any help to the Empire , The Balkan peninsula would have been a high target as the Illyrian Empire would likely attack them . Furthermore they were extremely uncivilised and their ancient religion needed sacrifices of human beings in gruesome fashions . It was preferred to sacrifice those from other tribes , which would not please the Macedonians . Thrace and Dacia would likely be left alone , to expand north .

A more advantageous area of land to earn was the North African coastline , easily accessible from Egypt . Egyptians would settle down as Macedonian rule would be much better then Persian , and other groups would feel the same way , leaving a Persian revolt to be heavily opposed . As its ally Sparta was on Sicily , it could expand there , & the Peloponnesian league left the 2 nations functioning as one when it came to external issues such as war . Its largest obstacle would have been the Roman Empire , but due to sheer size , the Romans would loose , and possibly be attacked before they were ready for war . It is difficult to predict how far west along the African coast they would have settled , or if they would have expanded into northern Europe , but as time progressed , Dacia and Thrace as well as the Caucasus would be an inevitable target .
