Alexander the Great conquered India, China, Arabia, Rome... and found America

[Blue3]

Let's say Alexander the Great, while resting in Babylon, did NOT die at the age of 32, in the year 323 BC.

Instead, he strengthened Babylon as the center of his empire, and conquered the Arab tribes to the south, and then conquered all the major outposts on the Mediterranean, which included Rome and Carthage.

Renewed and confident again, and now in his 40's... Alexander, now knowing what to expect in India, launches a new campaign there and succeeds. He sends scouts to learn about China, and succeeds in conquering it too.

The islands of Japan and hills of Mongolia fall too, almost an afterthought, and his generals conquer Ethiopia and begin spreading through Africa, while other generals expand further into Europe. Alexander continues his policy of having his loyal soldiers marry the natives, and founding new cities called Alexandria in these lands.

Alexander, in his 50's or 60's now, ever seeking to push the limits, sends scouts to follow the coastlines in eastern Asia, Indonesia, and northern Europe. They discover Australia and the America's. He orders the settlement of new Alexandria's in these new worlds, and begin trading with and marrying the natives.

In his 70's, Alexander feels his health is finally beginning to slip. A strong succession plan has been developed over the decades, and Alexander begins the transition while he's still alive. He eventually dies in Babylon, peacefully in his sleep, and is buried in Macedonia.




Just how would different would our history be?

But I'm not asking if this was possible... I'm asking what would have happened if this actually happened?
