Alexander the great's conquests comprised the whole of the civilized world as he and his contemporaries understood it at the time. With the Greek city-states and other portions of southeastern Europe under his control, Alexander moved through Asia Minor (modern-day Turkey), the Middle East, Egypt and other portions of North Africa, the Near East (modern Iraq and Iran), and then even farther east towards modern India. Overwhelming Persia and other powers in less than a decade, Alexander's military conquests created a new empire larger in size than any previously seen in that part of the world.
