Alexander the Great was Greek, and though less successful than the Mongols he conquered a comparable amount of the world. His personal empire collapsed quickly, but Greeks still controlled much of it for quite a while.
His army committed similar atrocities, but we remember him as "The Great."
- Retric 4y agoThere are a few ways of comparing them but the Mongol empire grew to about four and a half times the physical size of Alexander the great’s empire and had at least an order of magnitude more people.
- boomboomsubban 4y agoSurely you don't mean Alexander the Great's rape and pillaging was acceptable because he only did it to 15% of the world's population rather than 30% with the Mongols.
