All of West-Asia between the Sea of Marmara to the Indus Valley and most of the Punjab; Egypt too.

The territories now called Turkey, Palestine, Israel, Egypt, Syria, Irag, Iran, Afganistan, Pakistan, parts of Northearn India, and if you include his supression of the Thraco-Illyrian rebels, parts of Bulgaria, Yugoslavia and Albania. He might have gone as far north ias Adjerbaijan, Uzbekistan etc. but the geogpraphy is not that clear from the sources.

You all forgot that he also conquered Greece.
Aleksander's (and his father's) army killed thousands of Greeks.
Thousands of Greeks were also sent home after Darius was defeated mainly because he could not trust those Greeks in his Macedonian army.

I THINK YOU MUST STUDY HISTORY. GREEKS WERE SENT BACK BECAUSE THE IONIAN CITIES OF ASIA MINOR WERE NOT UNDER PERSIANS MORE, SO THE FORMAL MISSION (OF GREEK ARMY) WHICH WAS DECIDED IN CORINTHUS HAD BEEN INTERGRATED AFTER THE LIBERATION OF THESE CITIES. DON' T FORGET THAT ALEXANDER PUNISHED THE GREEKS WHO HAD TAKEN PART IN THE WORLD AGAINST GREEK ARMY HELPING DARIUS. THE BOOKS OF THAT PERIOD ARE UNEQUIVOCAL: "OTI +É+ü+æ+ü +ö+ü +è+Å+ë+ì+ü +ö+Å+ë+ô +à+ï+ï+ç+ô+ë +ä+Å+Ä+ü+ì+ö+ü +à+ì+ü+ì+ö+ë+ü +ö+Ö+ì +à+ï+ï+ç+ì+Ö+ì +à+É+Å+ï+à+î+ç+ô+ü+ì".I AM SORRY IF YOU DON' T UNDERSTAND ANCIENT GREEK.
