[00:00:00]One battle ended an empire.

[00:00:03]On the plains of Gaugamela, Alexander the Great faced King Darius III and the full power of the Persian Empire.

[00:00:10]Darius had a massive army with cavalry and deadly scythed chariots.

[00:00:15]The Persians believed victory was certain.

[00:00:18]But Alexander stayed calm. His phalanx held the line while he searched for the perfect opening.

[00:00:24]As the battle raged, Alexander led his cavalry to the right, pulling the Persian line out of shape. Then a gap appeared in the center. That was the moment he had been waiting for.

[00:00:36]Alexander and his companion cavalry charged straight toward Darius.

[00:00:40]Seeing Alexander coming, Darius lost his nerve and fled.

[00:00:45]Once their king ran, the Persian army collapsed.

[00:00:48]At Gaugamela, Alexander won his greatest victory and shattered the Persian Empire forever.
