Alexander the Great's Conquest - Balkan Campaign 335 BC

The new Kings and Generals animated historical documentary series will cover the conquests of Alexander III the Great of Macedon. The series will focus on the campaigns of Alexander and all of his major battles, including Gaugamela, Tyre, Issus, Granicus, Halicarnassus, Gaza, Hydaspes and more. This first episode will describe the battles that happened immediately after the assassination of the Macedonian king Philip II. His son Alexander III succeeded him and was immediately forced to fight other Greeks, Thracians, Illyrians and others, leading to the quick Balkan campaign in 335 BC and the battles of Mount Haemus, Pelium and Thebes.

I guess the discussion of Alexander's plans right after his coronation went more or less like this:
Advisors: "Alexander, no."
Alexander: "Alexander, YES!"

One of the greatest commanders in history, the fact we get series like these for free is incredible.
Thanks as always for your hard work and great presentation 👏

This man really deserves the title of "great", one of the few undefetead generals on the pitch, an absolute champion and genius.

Thessalians standing in front of Alexander's army: "You shall not pass!" Alexander: "That's completely fine, I can just go around"

For some reason I found how Alexander was seemingly able to 'teleport' behind the enemy, return to the battlefield after he escaped, and how he managed to appear suddenly on the other side of the city hilarious. I can only imagine how his opponent's faces look like.

This certain Alexander fellow is very bold and a good general… he should conquer the Persians one day.

I clicked immediately. I can already tell I'm gonna love this series and I can't wait for the siege of Tyre.

[johntaylor]

This Alexander guy is pretty smart, sounds like he will leave a detailed plan of succession so his empire endures.

[ogrejiang]

alexander's army is simply more agile in composition compare to the follow successor kingdom, latter simply throw phalanx like throw a log to it's enemy and hope for the best. for alexander, you can always see him to make task group, like in modern military with different component specific for the objective. that is the key for him to won so many victory in so many different scenario.

Thebans present brazen counter-offer.
Alexander: "And I took that personally."

[theok]

The day we all have been waiting for. Thank you Kings and Generals!

[MarcelPirosca]

This man is ever fascinating. You can look at him from 10 different angles and see 10 different things. What strikes me about Alexander is the speed he could come up with solutions to dire situations, where most people's minds would just go blank.

Thank you for this video, you've made my day. Can't wait for the rest of the series.

Enemy: "Its over, Alexander! We have the high ground".

Alexander: "You underestimate my power" (charges uphill)

Enemy: "Wait, that wasn't supposed to

The Seige of Pelium is one of my favorite stories of ingenuity. Alexander made a clear mistake, but he was so confident in the discipline of his army and soliders that he avoided a possible catastrophe by running drills. What other commander would have ordered that?

[Iceking_]

As a greek i can say i learned more from this video than my history book in a whole chapter.Excellent video

[SFray-sfgr]

I love the sound of the Units being crushed in battle. Its simple and subtle, yet equally recognizable and significant to the story of the battle at the same time.

[enriquevigo]

16:15 Alexander's army flexed so hard on the Taulantians that they fled without fighting, impressive

[QaribArcadia]

Finally some Alexander contents again it's good to watch videos about my fav historical figure.

[dylantye]

Noticed that this one feels like your reading your script in a faster pace, really feels like it's done to help push the idea of Alexander's pace, honestly really well done

[gyges]

Alexander was a genius - so many times he put down rebellions and came up with ingenious ways to defeat an enemy.
