Question 25 • World History

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

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

Explanation

Alexander’s campaigns took him from Greece through Egypt and across the Persian Empire, reaching as far east as parts of India in southern Asia. He did not conquer Northern Europe or most of Western Europe, so the statement about advancing into Southern Asia best describes his empire.
