Alexander the Great built an empire that stretched from the Balkans to India in just 13 years .

If he had been defeated by the Persians , history would have been completely different.

Christianity may have died off before it could spread widely, according to a professor.

History would have changed in myriad other ways if Alexander hadn't been defeated.

A defeat by Bessus could have caused political power in the Middle East to become more fragmented than it did.

Rome might have taken advantage of that weakness both before and after it became an empire in 27 B.C. "The fragmentation of Eurasia could have accelerated the imperial expansion of Rome beyond our imagining," Holt said.
