Alexander the Great defeated Porus in the Battle of ______.
Hydaspes
The correct answer is Hydaspes.
Before facing Porus, Alexander fought and allied with other local rulers. The Battle of Hydaspes was one of the most challenging battles of his campaign in this region. Despite the victory, his troops were weary and eventually refused to march further east, leading Alexander to turn back from the Hyphasis (Beas) River. His campaign in India had significant, though temporary, impacts on the political landscape and opened up new trade routes.
