After his victory at Gaugamela, Alexander entered Babylon and then went to the Persian capital Persepolis Sosa and where
appropriate the treasures of Persia and seized huge quantities of gold and silver. Around 330 BC, Alexander began moving again. After Darius was murdered by one of his own men, Alexander assumed the title and the anointing of the Great King of Persia. However, not content to rest on the spoils of the Persian Empire. In the next three years, moved to the east and west, reaching the distant Pakistan today. In the summer of year 327 BC C., penetrated into India, which then was divided into several warring states. In 326 BC C., Alexander and his armies reached the north-western plains of India. In the battle of the river Hydaspes, Alexander won a battle fought brutally When Alexander declared his determination to march east to conquer more territory in India, his soldiers, tired of a campaign after another, mutinied and refused to continue. Alexander agreed to their demands and was (according to back him, so he led his troops through southern Persia, Gedrosiano through the desert, where it suffered heavy losses as a result of overwhelming desert conditions. Alexander and what remained of his army and then went to Susa to Babylon, where he planned more campaigns. But in June of the year 323 BC, weakened by his wounds, fever and, perhaps, too much alcohol, died at the early age of thirty-two years. He is one of the great figures of history's most enigmatic. Historians, whilst based on the same sources provide different descriptions of it.

Some historians have argued that Alexander believed in an ideal of universal humanity. As evidence, they cite the fact that he encouraged his soldiers to marry native women, and Susa , in 324 BC, held a mass wedding of ten thousand of his soldiers with native species. Alexander himself married Oriental women (Estateira daughter of Darius and Roxane, daughter of a Bactrian baron).

The self-styled Great King and demanded that his subjects to bow before him, Persian style. She wore clothes Persians Persians used as native youth trained managers on military methods of his fellow Macedonians Macedonians objected to these traces of despotism, and giving equal treatment to the Persians. Some went so far as attempting to assassinate .

No doubt aspired to a more autocratic monarchy, which is a lofty vision of the unity of mankind.
