Detailed explanation-1: -After Alexander the Great died in 323 BCE, he left behind a vast empire comprised of independent territories, which extended from Macedonia to India, Egypt and eastern Mediterranean. There was no clear successor to Alexander, which created conflict between many of his commanders, who were greedy for land and power.
Detailed explanation-2: -Answer and Explanation: Alexander the Great’s four generals who divided his empire were Ptolemy, Cassander, Seleucus, and Antigones.
Detailed explanation-3: -When he was asked who should succeed him, Alexander said, “the strongest”, which answer led to his empire being divided between four of his generals: Cassander, Ptolemy, Antigonus, and Seleucus (known as the Diadochi or ‘successors’).
