The Hellenistic culture associated with the rule of Alexander the Great developed as a result of the spread of Greco-Macedonian Culture. As Alexander the Great conquered most of the Middle East and Europe, he implemented the adoption of Hellenistic culture to his territories. Ancient Greek culture paved ways for new military tactics such as flanks, wedge formations, the Phalanx, and many more. Ancient Greek culture also left a huge impact on politics and economics.
