    Explanation: Alexander the Great led Macedonia to victory over the Persian Empire, conquering everything in his path, and often renaming city after city after city after himself. However, after some 20 years of campaigning, his troops were ready to go home, and mutinied near modern-day India. Alexander only reluctantly turned back, and soon after died.
