-the military campaigns of ‘julius caesar‘ constituted both the ‘gallic war’ (’58 BCE’ – ’51 BCE’) and caesar’s civil war (’50 BC’ – ’45BC’), which had been highly controversial-
.
(the ‘gallic war’ mainly took place in what is now ‘france’)
(in ’55 BCE’ and ’54 BCE’, he invaded ‘britain’, although he made little headway)
(the ‘gallic war’ ended with ‘complete roman victory’ at the ‘battle of alesia’)
(this was followed by the ‘civil war’, during which time ‘caesar’ chased his rivals to ‘greece’, decisively defeating them there)
(he then went to ‘egypt’, where he defeated the ‘egyptian pharaoh’ + put ‘cleopatra’ on the throne)
(he then finished off his ‘roman opponents’ in ‘africa’ + ‘hispania’)
(once his campaigns were over, he served as ‘roman dictator’ until his assassination on ’15 march 44 BCE’)
.
(these wars were critically important in the transition of the ‘roman republic’ into the ‘roman empire’)
