Alexander the Great

In my opinion Alexander the Great deserves the title of being Great.  He was a very powerful man and accomplished a lot at a young age.  He was a strong fighter and had great military skill and strategy.  This helped him lead his troops to success especially when it came to the impressive conquest of the Persian empire.  Unlike some other rulers, Alexander actually fought with his soldiers and was brave instead of cowardly ordering commands from the sidelines.  He also kept his country in control and kept it orderly.  He did all of this while he was drinking, which is impressive that he could even function, none the less rule an army and country!  That is why I think Alexander deserves his title of being the Great.
