His military power was based on a military strategy called "phalanx" where a combination of cavalry and infantry was used, with which he could access fortified cities in order to dominate them. This military strategy had already been set by Philip.
Once he conquers Asia Minor, he heads towards Syria, then dominates Palestine and Egypt, this is where “Alexandria” was established, then he heads east, where he overwhelmingly defeats the Persians and where he was crowned as the king of Persia.
