Well, honey, after Alexander the great kicked the bucket, his empire was like a bunch of kids fighting over a toy. His generals couldn't agree on who should be in charge, so they split the empire into pieces like a messy breakup. Plus, add in some rebellions here and there, and voila, you've got yourself a recipe for an empire falling apart faster than a cheap suit.

He had no clear heir. His brother was mentally unstable as a result of a poisoning attempt, and his son was an infant. Both were eventually assassinated.

This left his generals who siezed whatever parts of the empire they could, and fought each other over to win territory. This gave rise to what we cal today the Hellenistic kingdoms, of which there were several. They eventually stabilised as Macedonia, Egypt, Syria-Mesopotamia, and Pergamon.

By:nevaeh Alexander's empire fell after his death because all this general began fighting each other for power. Eventually, four Kingdoms arose, lead by four of his greatest generals.
