  1. Far as modern countries;

    He conquered the lands that would become the countries of the Balkan peninsula.  Wait, no, I'm wrong; the Balkans were conquered by his father Phillip, as well as Greece.

    Alexander himself conquered what would become Turkey, Crete, Israel, Lebanon, Syria, Jordan, Iraq, Iran, Turkmekistan, all the "stan" countries up until the border with India, and about one quarter of India, mostly the north.  All the above mentioned countries, had Alexander's Macedonian phalanx march on their lands.

    Oh yeah, then there's Egypt, but nobody cares about them.

    later.


  2. List would be too long, and they have different names.  Alexander conquered all the places from Greece east to the Indus River and north to the Caspian Sea and Afghanistan.  He also conquered Egypt

    .

  3. He conquered the Greek city states, Persia (Egypt also being a part of the Persian territory), some Scythian/nomadic steppe tribes, tribes in Afghanistan, and small Indian kingdoms in the northwest part of India.

    Today, this area would be west from Greece to south from Egypt to east from Afghanistan and northwest India.
