Alexander the Great transformed the world during his reign — but was he an embattled leader, or a ruthless conqueror?--Alexander the Great fundamentally transformed the world during his 13-year reign. He conquered Persia when it was one of the world’s largest empires, and he was considered a living demi-god by Egyptians and Greeks. But was he a brilliant, embattled leader, or a ruthless, power-hungry conqueror?

Dig into the era of the Spanish Inquisition, when the Catholic Church was charged with rooting out and punishing heresy.Uploaded 23-03-21--In 1478, Pope Sixtus IV issued a decree authorizing the Catholic monarchs, Ferdinand and Isabella, to root out heresy in the Spanish kingdoms. The inquisition quickly turned its attention to ridding the region of people who were not part of the Catholic Church— leading to more than 350 years of ethnic cleansing.
