By: Makaila McQuarn
ALEXANDER'S LAST DAYS
It was 323 BC and Alexander the Great was in Baghdad. He had spent the past thirteen years conquering a lot of the know world. While doing so, he created an empire that reached from Macedonia all the way to the fringes of India through Greece and the Persian empire. After he had returned to Baghdad after the long thirteen years, Alexander had a heavy night of drinking. Later on after several days, Alexander's body was racked by a fever and after a couple more days, he passed away.
