>>Alexander's pattern as a conquerer can be seen in how he defeated the various rebel cities and peoples. He ignored the advice of his generals and other advisors, many of whom urged caution. Instead, Alexander launched fast, heavy attacks on his foes, choosing to defeat them through the trauma of heavy combat and shock tactics. Cities that stood in his way, such as Thebes, were destroyed, their populations killed or sold into slavery. While Greek warfare of the past usually paid no mind to killing civilians in cold blood or selling losers into slavery, Alexander's conquests throughout Greece and Asia would drench the land with blood. Any city, nation, or tribe that opposed him faced utter destruction.>> Muh white empathy? lol
