Do you think Alexander honestly felt like he was avenging Persian wrongs? Or was that just propaganda to mask his goal of conquest?

I think that it was a mixture of avenging the Persians for killing his father, but he also knew he had to do it to continue taking over the world. I think that Alexander really wanted to avenge the Persian, because who would not after you know that they killed your Father when you were only 19, and after his father was killed Alexander became the king. Also I think he went there to continue his conquest, i don't think he would of went there to go and fight if he did not have to, because then he may of died without avenging his father, that would of happened if the Persian killed him. Over all I think it was a mixture between the two that made him go to Persia and kill their king.
