Could a force like Alexander the Great exist today? Why or why not?
Alexander the Great was a great leader but I do not believe that a force like him could exist in our world today. For one, Alexander could almost be called war-crazy. He was always in battle with someone. Whether he was conquering a nation or fighting off another country, Alexander’s army was always fighting. Back then, the army loved fighting. With the war equipment we have today, I do not think his army could survive today with all the new technological advances we have had since Alexander’s time. The army wouldn’t be as big as it was in their time. I do not think Alexander could pummel cities and countries like he was used to doing. Nowadays, countries have allies. The United States is allies with several other countries. That means that if that country is in trouble, its allies could come in and help in the battle. This meant Alexander would have to defeat two countries, not just one. It is possible that a force like Alexander come rise up again, but I think that if that happens, they would be defeated immediately. It would be very difficult for a force like Alexander the Great to exist in today’s world.
