Afterwards, Alexander's Asian campaign continued, as after defeating the remnants of the Acahemenid Empire at the battle of the Persian Gate and the Uxian Defile and the Persian Gates (   • Battle of the Persian Gate 330 BC - A...  ), Alexander marched into Central Asia, taking on the Saka at the battle of Jaxartes in 329 BC (   • Battle of the Jaxartes 329 BC - Alexa...  ). Alexander's next target was the Sogdian Rock, where Spitamenes raised a rebellion against him and we also talk talked about the assassination of Cleitus (   • Battle of the Sogdian Rock 327 BC - A...  ). Then we discussed Alexander's campaign in Afghanistan, called Cophen (Kabul) campaign by the ancients and another assassination attempt, this time by the royal pages led by Hermolaus (   • Alexander in Afghanistan - Cophen Cam...  ). With the Cophen Valley secured, Alexander left Taxiles and pressed deeper into the sub-continent, making for the Hyphasis River. To do so, however, Alexander would have to pass through the territories of numerous Indian kings, having to either defeat or subjugate them in order to protect his rear. This portion of Alexander’s campaign from, Taxila to the Hyphasis, would prove to be some of the most difficult of Alexander’s career and the battle of Hydaspes against the Indian king Porus would occur during it (   • Battle of Hydaspes 326 BC - Conquests...  ). Alexander's last campaign would be against the Mallians in modern Punjab (   • Alexander's Last War - Mallian Campai...  ). In the aftermath, Alexander returned to Babylon where he would spend his last year, making plans and enacting reforms.
