-Alexander the Great was a historical figure who is best known for conquering everything from Macedonia (his homeland) to Egypt to Persia. He ruled the largest empire in the world and that had ever existed by that time. Obviously, there are many works of AH about him and his conquests. What if he had lived longer? What if he had conquered India as well? What if he had died before he rose to power? These are all interesting PODs that could have changed the history of the world greatly.
