Thirty-third episode: The Battle of Gaugamela - 331 BCE Find Asclepios' channel here / @asclepiosyt After the Battle of Issus, Alexander the Great has a free hand. He commits to the conquest of the Middle East and Egypt. But Darius III has prepared a large army to put an end to the Macedonian expedition. Alexander accepts the fight on a plain not far from Gaugamela. But despite terrain and numbers in favor of the Persians, the Macedonian tactics will break them to the point of signing the end of the Achaemenid Empire. The opportunity to discuss simple but effective tactical movements when handled with precision.

Remarks: -As you will have understood, the story presented here is more than uncertain -If we had to understand the course of the battle, we would have to turn instead to the functioning of each of the units present. Historical research is better able to describe the general behavior of the troops than the specific behavior during the battle. -Of course, the legend covers a good part of the reality. Thus, we should not see Alexander as the sole architect of the victory. We would have to work here on his corps of officers to determine which echelon was central, how such maneuvers were possible, etc. -Declaring Babylon the capital of the Persian Empire is a mistake. Persepolis will be preferred. / surlechampdebataille / surlechampfr https://fr.tipeee.com/sur_le_champ Original theme music composed by Julien Théron Logo designed by Camille Sanchez.
