Alexander the Great’s First Battle | How Granicus Changed History

Описание: In 334 BCE, a 22-year-old king faced the greatest empire the world had ever known.

This video tells the story of Alexander the Great’s first major battle — the Battle of Granicus — where a single bold decision changed the course of history forever.

As Alexander crossed into Asia, many believed his invasion would fail before it truly began. The Persian Empire was vast, wealthy, and confident. But at the banks of the Granicus River, Alexander chose speed, shock, and personal leadership over caution.

Against overwhelming odds, he led his elite cavalry straight into the river under enemy fire — risking everything on his first confrontation with Persia.

This victory shattered the myth of Persian invincibility and opened the path for one of the greatest conquests in history.

This was not just a battle.
It was the moment Alexander proved he was a force of history.
