JULIUS CAESAR 100 SM-44 SM

When the political atmosphere is not warm absurdly tall and sharp, was born in Rome a military man and politician famous Roman, Gaius Julius Caesar, in 100 BC.In the second century BC, after his victory in the War Punik Cartago subjecting the second, the Romans have already established an extensive empire. This conquest make them have a treasure in abundance. But, make war devastated socio-economic circumstances and many farmers were driven from their fields. The Roman Senate, which came from such a small city council, proved unable to manage the land that has been so widened efficiently. Political corruption is rampant and the whole Mediterranean region suffered greatly due to incompetence of the Roman government. In Rome itself, from the year 133 BC, is there chaos in the period of time. Politicians, generals and demagogues mutual wrest the seat of power and rebel forces (such as those led by Marius in 87 BC and led by Sulla in 82 BC) to move directly into the heart of Rome. Despite government fretfulness was clearly to everyone, most people still want to maintain the Roman system of republican government. Julius Caesar may be the first important political leaders who clearly see that the democratic government in Rome there was no boondoggle maintained, and it really has taken a long time no avail.Caesar himself originating in the old aristocratic family. He's got a good education and as a young man he had plunged into the world of politics. Who had held various positions, impressive political career growth, community relations ever made, will not be described in detail here. However, the year 58 BC when he was forty-two Julius Caesar was appointed as a governor who oversees the three provinces under the Romans: Cisalpine Gaul (northern Italy); Illyricum (coastal area is now Yugoslavia), and Narbanese Gaul (now the French coast). Under the commander at that time there were four Roman army consisting of 20,000 troops.During the years between 58-51 BC, Caesar uses troops stormed and conquered the rest of Gaul, a region roughly consists of France and Belgium now, here are the parts of Switzerland, Germany and the Netherlands. Although the number of troops teramatlah little, he managed to hit the people Gallik and simultaneously expand the Roman territory to reach the Rhine River. He also sent two expeditions to Britain, but failed to conquer it permanently.Caesar's conquest of Gaul to make - that it has become a political leader - a hero when he returned to Rome. And in the eyes of his political opponents even too popular and too powerful. When the military command control over, he was ordered by the Roman Senate to return to Rome and became a regular citizen. Which means without any troops at all. Caesar worries, and fears are groundless, because if he returned to Rome without an army, his political opponents would use the opportunity to destroy it. Therefore, on the night 10-11 January 49 BC, in open opposition to the Senate, Caesar led his army across the Rubicon River in northern Italy and to Rome. This is a step to break the rules, and none other than a novice civil war between Caesar's forces on the one hand against the forces loyal to the Senate on the other. Fighting raged no less than four years which eventually won by Caesar. Determine the final battle that occurred in Munda, Spain, on March 7, 45 BC.Caesar concluded that an efficient despotism was that he needed the Romans could do it. He returned to Rome in October of 45 BC and soon became dictator for life. In February 44 BC he was offered the crown, but flatly refused. Although he was a military dictator, is not convincing enough to steady the wing opponents of the republic. Dated March 15, 44 BC, Caesar was killed in a Senate hearing by the hands of a gang.In the last days of his life, Caesar devise various improvement programs. He planned the placement of veterans and the poor soldiers in the Roman population in a new society in the whole empire. She also extend Roman citizenship to give an opportunity to enter the various classes. She planned to lay the groundwork for the uniform administration of all city governments across the country. And do not forget to plan development and codification of Roman law. Who fail to do is to construct a satisfactory system for the constitution of the Roman government. And this is probably the major cause of his downfall.Because the difference between victory one year with the murder of Caesar at Munda him in a Senate hearing in Rome, many of his plans could not be applied. Because it is difficult to perfection government estimated how that would be enjoyed if Caesar can continue to live. Of all the improvements, the most sustainable due to the introduction of a new calendar. The introduction of this new calendar, with a little refinement, remained unused since then.Julius Caesar was one of the political figures that have charisma in the history of power, inherent in its various form of talent. He was a successful politician, a brilliant general, a dazzling orator, and a good writer. Book he wrote (De bello Gallico) depicts the conquest of Gaul affairs, has long been considered a classic work of literature. In the opinion of many students, the book most readable and most interesting of all the literary classics. Caesar innately courageous, energetic, and handsome. Not one note, Caesar was also a famous ladies' man, a Don Yuan, even by him, including his time was topnotch. (Adventures of the most famous love of course - a tumultuous romance with Cleopatra).Caesar character often became targets of criticism. His ambition for power is too great, and he really did use his position to enrich themselves. But, unlike most politicians who are ambitious, he is not cunning and plintat-plintut, nor hypocritical. Caesar was a tough and ruthless when fighting Gaul. On the other hand, he is very friendly to people who already breaking down of the Roman opponents.This is an indication of the reputation attached to him. Therefore, both the title of king of the German "Kaiser" and the king of Russian "Czar", derived from the name Caesar. He was always more famous than his nephew grandson of August Caesar, the founder of the real character of the Roman empire. But the real influence of Julius Caesar to the history is not equivalent to the fame name. Sure enough, he held an important role in the fall of the Roman Republic. But the significance is not be overstated, because the republics that have actually been staggered by itself.Caesar is the most important works on the conquest Gaul. Who conquered the area remained under Roman rule for nearly five centuries. In the long period, it "diromawikan." Laws, customs, customs, language, and Roman Christianity. French is now the basic principle originating from the Latin period.Caesar's conquest of Gaul is also an important influence on the Romans themselves, as it provides protection for the Italians over the centuries of attacks from the north. Behold the conquest of Gaul is a safety factor for the entire Roman empire.Did the Romans - sooner or later - able to conquer Gaul without Julius Caesar? They do not have the advantages of technology or the excess amount than the Gaul tribes. But on the other hand, the Romans had extended their area in the days before Caesar conquered Gaul, as well as afterwards. Assess the effectiveness of the Roman military terms at the time and there are cracks in the body of Gallic tribes, it seems unlikely that Gaul could survive as an independent nation. However, it is no doubt Caesar was a general who had actually conquered a large army and conquered Celtic Gaul. And her inclusion on the list because this book is primarily from what he had done it.
