Detailed Solution

The above statement is false.
Alexander, a king from Macedonia in Europe, aspired to govern the entire world. He did not, of course, conquer the entire world, but he did take control of some of West Siam and Egypt, as well as the Indian subcontinent, reaching as far as the bank of the Bees. However, his soldiers objected as he tried to move farther east. They had heard that the kings of India possessed large armies of foot soldiers, cavalry, and elephants and that their army had broken down at the Hyphásis River (the modern Beas River), refusing to advance farther east. This had made them frightened.
The correct statement would be that Alexander's soldiers did not agree to march eastward beyond the river Indus.
