1. Alexander the Great
Alexander the great is the first in this list. He lived almost
2300 years ago and did what no one could do even today. He was the king of
ancient Greek Kingdom of Macedon. He lived during BC 356 – 323 and had become king
at the age of 20 after the death of his father Philip II.
He set out to conquer the world and defeated Egypt and the
Persia at the age of 25. His invasion continued till the northern border of
India. He died at the age of 33 and the reason of his death is suspected to be poisoning and loss of health due to excessive drinking.
He is important even today because he is still a benchmark
against whom military heads compare themselves and his war strategies are
still said to be taught in military schools.
