Here is another one: What military formation was made famous by Alexander the Great?
For those who guess Phalanx, you are correct! It was a mass military formation formed into a rectangular shape. It was typically composed entirely of heavy infantry armed with spears, pikes or sarissas, tightly packed together. This military formation was the key to Alexander the Greatโs military success.
