Alexander the Great was a determined and courageous leader who conquered much of the known world through intelligent battlefield strategies. He ruled over Greece and Persia from a young age, and was relentless in his drive to expand his empire throughout Asia and India, only stopping when his troops refused further advances. His bravery and tactical brilliance allowed him to defeat much larger armies through inventive tactics.

7. RED-Determined
Alexander the Great was a determined man. You can describe him as being
proactive as a leader of the military. For example, as soon as he became king,
he went right away to get his armies and attacked and conquered land to fulfill
the Greek destiny of conquering the world. First, he ruled Greece, then Persia,
and he was determined to move on until his troops begged him to go back. After
some disagreements, they finally started moving as a group. The journey took
many years, so they were eager to go home. He was determined to do whatever
necessary for his troops. And eventually he died while moving forward, trying to
get home. His motto seemed to be “Never give up”, and he was determined to
do anything he put his mind to.

8. RED-Courageous
Alexander the Great was very courageous his entire life. It was said
that he was be the first one in to battle. At 12 years old, he went up
to an untamed horse, brought it in by it's reins, and rode it. Without
courage, he wouldn't be attacking the cities and claiming land.
Alexander said “I am leaving Greece to rule the Western world.”
That is exactly why he left to conquer Persia, the enemy of Greece
at the time. He was only 20 years old, and his troops followed him
bravely because he had courage. He was not a fearful leader. He
led by example. Alexander was not afraid to try new battle tactics.
He also never put his sword down to surrender, even when looking
at a possible defeat.

9. YELLOW-Intelligent
Alexander the Great always had a plan, and if he didn't, he made a
plan on the spot. For example, when he was coming into Egypt, he
used catapults to destroy part of a lower he had not expected to be
there. Afterwards, he fitted logs underneath and burned the wall
down. That plan gained Alexander entrance to a city in Egypt.
Another intelligent thing that he did was that he tricked the Indians in
to believing that his army was on one side of the lake, when they
were on the other. That way Alexander's troops could defeat them
from another side. His battle strategy caught the Indians completely
off guard. If Alexander were not intelligent, then he would have no
battle strategies, and if he had no battle strategies he would not have
been able to conquer the western world. He needed intelligence to
be the good king that he was.
