The Battle of Granicus

Explanation:

The battle of Granicus was recognized as the first victory that Alexander the Great and his army of 40,000 Greeks had over the Persians. After the battle, Alexander the Great was able to replenish his supply stores and further invited some major Greek states to revolt against the Persians. Although he was victorious in this battle, it almost cost his life.
