After Alexander the Great had overrun Persia, he marched into India. He conquered much of what is now Afghanistan and Pakistan, defeating many of the peoples along the Indus River, however his troops refused to go beyond the Hydaspes River, where a massive and superior army of the Nanda Empire awaited them.
What happens if Alexander's troops had not mutinied and had gone into battle against the Nanda?
It seems likely in my opinion that Alexander's troops would have been utterly defeated, possibly destroyed if they don't retreat in time. Which begs the question of what would happen after that? Can Alexander's Empire survive, even before his death, without such a large army?
