I believe that Alexander the Great honestly felt like he was avenging Persian wrongs, but he also had a goal of conquest.  Alexander the Great’s father, King Phillip, had been killed by Greeks and he wanted to get revenge on these people for killing his father.  Additionally, Alexander the Great felt that Persia had destroyed many places in Greece during the Persian War and he wanted to avenge Persian wrongs, per say, against the Greeks, especially during the Persian War.  I also believe that Alexander the Great did have a goal of conquest.  Someone had told Alexander the Great that he was the son of a God.  If told that they were a son of a God, what ruler would not think that he could conquer any place he wanted?  Alexander the Great was just acting upon what somebody had told him.  Alexander the Great more than likely thought this very thing and thought, in addition to avenging Persian wrongs, he could conquer them.  He also, more than likely, believed he could conquer any other places.  Additionally, many rulers become power hungry, if not already.  I believe that it was likely that Alexander the Great had become selfish and resulted in conquering the many places that he later defeated.  I believe that Alexander the Great had multiple reasons for why he overpowered numerous places and became the ruler that he is known as today.
