Campaigns of Alexander the Great

Macedonian conquests from the Achaemenid Empire to the Punjab.

This war had no continuous front. The line is a schematic limit of advance and operations: it summarises campaigns and is not a trench line or an administrative border. The coloured areas are operational sides, not evidence of contiguous occupation; in-between frames are interpolated and closing edges are graphic. The line is the eastern limit of the campaigns; the territory behind it was not everywhere subdued or occupied.
