Comments on: Wars of Alexander the Great: Battle of the Granicus http://www.historynet.com/wars-of-alexander-the-great-battle-of-the-granicus.htm From the World's Largest History Magazine Publisher Fri, 24 May 2013 00:48:35 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.3.2 By: Lakhaythm http://www.historynet.com/wars-of-alexander-the-great-battle-of-the-granicus.htm#comment-962172 Lakhaythm Mon, 18 Mar 2013 22:47:16 +0000 #comment-962172 Alexander started with 42,000 infantry, not 32,000. This battle wouldn't have been very decisive if the persian generals and governors hadn't thrown away their lives so stupidly. It would have been merely the drawing of first blood. The most decisive battle in Alexanders campaign was the battle of gaugamela. It was a crushing defeat for the persians and they just kind of slowly deterioted afterwards. Note: Sorry if my spelling isn't to good. Alexander started with 42,000 infantry, not 32,000.

The Greeks and Philip/Alexander particularly changed the world power from East to West. Was Granicus the essential start of this or merely an inevitable part of the Greek Eastern conquest?
