Reflection: 3/08/10. Choosing Topic

First day at home, deciding on what topic we want to do for our assignment. We have given a set of topic ideas that we need to decide on, such as in Japanese Imperialism, American Economic Imperialism, Romain Imperialism etc.
Out teacher (Ms. O'Neill) has given as a choose between Ancient or Modern History to do. She has stated that if we are doing a History next year we would have to choose between Ancient or Modern. Choosing on Ancient or Modern this year would have a great impact on what history your doing the following 2 years.

I have decided on doing an Ancient History next year, so my chose has been decided on the Ancient World.
I have looked through books and thought about what I wanted to do and I came up with two decisions.
1: Doing Romain Imperialism and talk about how Rome became the power leading country back in those days or
2: Do Alexander the Great. The Greatest conquer in the world! Conquering ALL of the Middle East (as we know it today) and defeating great numbers of battles throughout the Middle East.

So now I have to decided in what chooses I have to decided. I have looked through some books on Rome and the life of defeating and conquering the world, but I had found the spread of Romain civilisation quiet boring, so I had only chose left... Alexander the Great!

I have researched and checked his life and how he became King of Greece and how he fought and conquered great numbers of land across the Middle East and I had an idea on what my question could be, with the help of my L.E teacher... Mrs Kirwan.

So now I have a topic and now I need to research more about wither or not Alexander was really 'Great' in what he did or was it just a title he owned because of what he did for Greece?
