Could a force like Alexander the Great exist today? Why or why not?


I believe that a force like Alexander the Great could not exist today. The way the world works and the way that countries communicate with one another doesn't allow much room for a ruler like Alexander the Great. It's much easier to communicate, transport, and work together today than it was back in ancient Greek times, therefore, a ruler like Alexander the Great wouldn't even have time to establish an army of such strength without United Nations or some other type of resource stepping in and not allowing this to happen. There have been many people, I believe, that have tried to live out their lives like Alexander the Great, such as Hitler, that tried to control what kind of people lived in certain places, what they looked like, and what religion they practiced, but they were put to a stop before they had a chance to conquer everyone.
