I believe that Alexander the great wanted to do something that would gain trust from the people. The best way to do this was go on a conquest and to avenge Persia. It could have been that it was both sides at the same time, he wanted to conquer the Persian empire and he wanted to get revenge. I think that he knew that people weren't going to have complete faith in him because he was so young when he came to power. Alexander also knew that trust was the most important thing when ruling an empire or kingdom, and he went after that trust and support in the best way he knew.
