There are a number of reasons Alexander the Great has gone down in history as such an efficient conqueror. For one, he was smart enough not to interfere much in the customs or traditions of the places he conquered and allowed for some sort of self-government, which discouraged them from putting up too much of a fight. Philip, his father, left him essentially a vast empire of resources and a very strong army when he died; most importantly, he passed down to Alexander his own personal dream to invade Persia. Finally, Alexander grew up to be a very smart young man thanks to tutoring from Aristotle.

He persisted at it for 10 years, first defeating the Persian army, eliminated central resistance, then picking off the outer provinces one by one.
