Question 14 • NY-Global History and Geography I

Which statement best describes the empire created by Alexander the Great?

Answer
A
Alexander conquered most of Eastern Europe, claiming territory as far north as the Baltic Sea.
B
Alexander conquered most of Western Europe, claiming territory as far north as the North Sea.
C
Alexander conquered most of the Mediterranean region, including parts of Africa, and advanced into Northern Europe.
D
Alexander conquered most of the Mediterranean region, including parts of Africa, and advanced into Southern Asia.

Explanation

Alexander’s empire stretched from Greece and Egypt eastward through the Persian Empire to parts of Central and Southern Asia, reaching as far as northwestern India. He did not conquer Northern Europe or most of Western Europe. Therefore, the best description is that he conquered much of the Mediterranean region, including parts of Africa, and advanced into Southern Asia.
