Alexander the Great

I think Alexander of Macedon did not deserve the title "the Great" for his outstanding achievements. First off, he was a very young ruler(in his twenties) when he began to conquer the middle east. He was also a wise and strong leader for his army which is why he defeated the Persian army at such a young age as well. However, he was also a feared ruler, for example - he backstabbed some of his people, burned Persepolis, and often acted for his will without hesitation. He also consumed a lot of alcohol, which is similar to how he wanted revenge (at first). Although Alexander the Great was an outstanding military strategist who conquered much of the world, I do not think he deserves the title "the Great" mainly because in my opinion, a leader who is "Great" is able to listen to their people instead of instilling fear in them, not backstab others, try to practice peace instead of constant warfare for land, and not forcefully take over land. Because if I was living back then, and I might be living in fear of Alexander the Not so Great.
