Answer:
Oooh! I just did this!
Explanation:
Q1: The Macedonians had natural and human resources. Macedonia was economically self-sufficient. It had mines, timber, fruit, sheep, cattle, pastures. It was developing agriculturally. Trade was encouraged. The Macedonian people were hard working. They were not familiar with many of the luxuries that the Greeks in the south had. Their men lived for war and were obedient soldiers.
Q2: Alexander led a charge on horseback across the Granicus River. There he was met by Darius' top ranking generals. Hand to hand combat ensued and Alexander emerged alive. With most of the top ranking officers dead the Persian infantry had no leadership and were unorganized, making them easy targets for the long spears and the organized Macedonian army. The Macedonians destroyed them.
Q3: Many myths rose around Alexander's fame. Some Greeks believed that he was a deity and had godly powers. Some in Persia demonized him, saying he was the worst sinner in history and that he killed many Persian teachers and lawyers. Other in Persia considered him a member of Persia's royal family - the Achaemenids. Egyptians thought he was the son of the last pharaoh Nectabebus. In Ethiopia some considered him a saint and his father Philip a Christian martyr. Arabs called him Iskander and told imaginative stories about him.
Q4: He might have conquered more land and spread Greek culture into Asia. Could have had the biggest empire the world had ever seen.

Although the person responsible for Philip’s murder was never conclusively determined, many historians regard his divorced wife, Olympias, princess of Epirus and mother of Alexander, as the most likely suspect
