History of India, 326 BC, In the Battle of the Hydaspes River, The King of Taxila, Ambhi, surrendered to Alexander

In 326 BC, Alexander the Great of Macedonia invaded India and defeated the Persian Empire to claim the area.

The King of Taxila, Ambhi, surrendered to Alexander without a fight, thus allowing him to proceed with the invasion.

Alexander then marched to the Hydaspes River, where he faced the Indian armies led by King Porus.

The armies clashed in the Battle of the Hydaspes River, which is considered to be one of the most significant battles in Indian history.

Alexander emerged victorious and King Porus was forced to surrender.

After the battle, Alexander went on to conquer more of the Indian subcontinent and established the city of Alexandria in the area.

After Alexander left, the region was ruled by a succession of local dynasties, such as the Maurya, Gupta and Mughal empires.
