Julius Caesar, Roman Military And Famous Politician

When the political atmosphere is not Imperata remarkably warm and pungent, was born in Rome, a Roman military and the famous politician, Gaius Julius Caesar, in 100 BC.
In the second century BC, after his victory in the War of Cartago lowered Punik second, the Romans had succeeded in establishing a large empire. This conquest make them a fortune. However, social circumstances make war
ravaged economy and many farmers were driven from their fields. Roman Senate, which come from such a small town council, proved unable to manage the land which was so broad efficiently. Political corruption is rampant and the whole Mediterranean region was a result of suffering from the Roman government incompetence. In Rome itself, began in 133 BC, had occurred during the chaos long enough. Politicians, the generals and the wrestling one another demagogue won the seat of power and the rebel forces (such as Marius, led 87 years and led BC Sulla in 82 BC) to move directly into the heart of Rome. Despite the government's lousiness clear to everyone, most of the Roman people still want to maintain a republican government system. Julius Caesar was probably the first important political leaders who clearly see that the democratic government in Rome there was no gain retained, and this is precisely there had not been brought benefits.

Caesar himself origin old aristocratic family. He acquired a good education and as a young child he had plunged into the political world. Various positions ever held, the growth of an impressive political career, community relations ever made, the details will not be described here. However, in 58 BC when he was forty-two of Julius Caesar was appointed governor in charge of the three provinces under Roman Cisalpine Gaul (northern Italy); Illyricum (coastal region of Yugoslavia is now); and Narbanese Gaul (French coast now). Under the commander at that time there were four Roman army consisting of 20,000 troops.

During the years between 58-51 BC, Caesar with the army attacked and conquered the rest of Gaul, an area roughly consisting of France and Belgium today, the following parts of Switzerland, Germany and the Netherlands. Although the number of troops teramatlah bit, he managed to hit the people at the same time expand Gallik and Roman territory to reach the Rhine River. He also sent two expeditions to England, but not permanently conquered.

The conquest of Gaul to Caesar - who had already become a political leader - a hero when he returned to Rome. And in the eyes of political opponents rather too popular and too powerful. When control over the military command, he was ordered by the Roman Senate returned to Rome and became a regular citizen. Which means that without any troops at all. Caesar worry, and fear is reasonable, because if he returned to Rome without the army, his political opponents will use the opportunity to destroy it. Therefore, in the night 10-11 Januari 49 BC, in open opposition to the Senate, Caesar led his army across the Rubicon River in the northern half of Italy and to Rome. This is a step to break the rules, and none other than a civil war between the novice Caesar's army 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 which occurred at Munda, Spain, on March 7, 45 BC.

Caesar concludes that an efficient despotism of Rome was needed he could do it. He returned to Rome in October last year 45 BC and soon became dictator for life. In February 44 BC he was offered the crown but flatly refused. Although he had become a military dictator, is not enough to convince the opponents steady-leaning republic. March 15, 44 BC, Caesar was killed on the Senate floor by the hands of a conspiracy.

In the final days of his life, Caesar design for various improvement programs. He planned placement of veterans and the poor soldiers of the Roman population in a new society in the whole empire. He also extended Roman citizenship to give an opportunity to enter the various groups. She planned to lay the foundation for the uniform administration of government in cities throughout the country. And do not forget to plan development and codification of Roman law. Who did not succeed to do is to arrange a satisfactory constitutional system for the Roman government. And this is probably the major cause of his downfall.

Because the one-year difference between Caesar's victory at Munda with murder him in the Senate in Rome, many plans could not be applied. Because it is difficult estimated how the perfection of government that will be enjoyed if Caesar can continue to live. Of all the improvements, most had a lasting effect is the introduction of a new calendar. The introduction of the new calendar, with some refinements, remained in use ever since.

Julius Caesar was one of the political leaders who have the charisma of history, embedded in her various talents form. He was a successful politician, a brilliant general, a dazzling orator, and a good writer. Book he wrote (De bello Gallico) describes the conquest of Gaul affairs, long regarded as a classic literary works. According to the opinion of many students, the book most readable and most interesting of all the classical literature. Caesar bearing bold, full of energy, and handsome. Not one note, Caesar was also a renowned ladies' man, a Don Yuan, even according to the size of her era, including an excellent one.

Caesar character is often a target of criticism. Ambition for power was too great, and he really did use his position to enrich himself. However, unlike most politicians are ambitious, he is not cunning and plintat-plintut, nor a hypocrite. Caesar was a hard and ruthless when fighting Gaul. On the other hand, he's very friendly to the Romans who had dipatahkannya opponents.

This is an indication of the good name attached to him. Therefore, both the title of king of the German "Kaiser" and the king of Russia "Czar", derived from the name Caesar. He was always more famous than the grandson of Caesar's nephew in August, the real founder of the Roman Empire. However, the real influence of the history of Julius Caesar is not equivalent to the fame name. That's right, he holds an important role in the fall of the Roman Republic. But the significance is not be overstated, because the republic was actually being swayed by itself.

Caesar is the most important work of conquest of Gaul. The conquest of the area remained under Roman rule for nearly five centuries. In that time period, all "diromawikan." Laws, customs, language, and Roman Christianity. French is now the main basis of origin from the Latin period.

Caesar's conquest of Gaul was also an important influence on Rome itself, as it provides protection for Italy over the centuries of attacks from the north. Indeed the conquest of Gaul is the safety factor for the entire Roman Empire.

Is Roman - sooner or later - able to conquer Gaul without Julius Caesar? They do not have the advantages of technology or the excess amount than the tribes of Gaul. But on the other hand, have expanded their area of Rome in the days before Caesar conquered Gaul, as well as afterwards. Assessing the effectiveness of Roman military terms and cracks when it is in the body of gallic tribes, it seems unlikely it could survive Gaul as an independent nation. However, no doubt Caesar was a real general who had conquered a large Celtic army and conquered Gaul. Michael H. Hart,One hundred most influential figures in the history.
