Prevent Genocide!

Today in class I was hopping that everyone would buy a shirt! I was hopping to get 10 points, but of course not everyone bought one. I hope it helps my grade a little! Anyways we continued watching the movie from yesterday. It was an epic movie and I liked it a lot. I'm glad we are watching more today in class!


  • Darius was a coward and retreated when Alexander was coming
  • Darius took out some of his own people on the way out 
  • Battle of Gaugamela was one of Alexanders first biggest battle
  • Alexander after winning was now the king of all
  • Darius's own people turned on him
  • 10 Cities were named after Alexander
  • He didn't like that Darius was left by his own men by a river to die
  • He was trying to hunt them down and punish Darius's men because they just left their own leader
  • Alexander wanted to continue, but the people just wanted to go home and see their children, wives, grandchildren, and all their loved ones before they go off again
  • Alexander said go home with your family and I will go off to Asia alone
  • He said he only asked them for one more month and he said they were cowards
  • Alexander wanted to go further than his father
  • Alexander went south and exicuted the ring leaders
  • Alexander was NO LONG loved by all the people
  • In India the ones they battled rode on elephants
  • Alexander won the bloodiest of all battles
  • He was injured, but the Indians retreated and so they won!
