Alexander III of Macedon crosses the Hellespont with 40,000 men and launches his assault against the Persian Empire. By 331 B.C.E. he is in control of all of western Anatolia, the Phoenician city-states, Egypt, and Babylonia, whereupon he assumes the title of "Great King." From 330 through 325 B.C.E., Alexander expands his empire eastward through Central Asia to the Hyphasis and lower Indus Rivers in northwestern India. He spends the remainder of his years in Babylon, where he attempts to integrate the Persian and Graeco-Macedonian noble classes.
