Julius Caesar (Latin: Gaius Iulius Caesar ², July 12, 102 BC - March 15, 44 BC), or Caesar the Great, an outstanding military commander and statesman at the end of the Roman Republic. Leader and military commander of the ancient Roman Republic, military strategist.

In the first 60 years, he secretly formed the first three alliances with Pompey and Crassus, and then became governor of Gaul. He spent eight years conquering all of Gaul (about present-day France) and attacking Germania and Britain. In the first 49 years, he led his army to occupy Rome, defeated Pompey, and gathered power in one person to implement dictatorship. The Julian Calendar was formulated. He led troops to fight for decades and commanded dozens of battles, most of which defeated the many with a few and won by surprise. His strategic thoughts and tactical principles were imitated by many famous Western military commanders such as Napoleon, and made outstanding contributions to the development of corresponding measures in Western military science. He has written books together with his aides, mainly including "The Battle of Gaul","The Battle of Inner","The Battle of Alexander","The Battle of Africa", etc.

Caesar was born into an aristocratic family. He began his political activities in 78 BC. He was initially elected as a military tribune, and later served as a courtier, a municipal magistrate, a justice, and a governor of the Roman expedition to Spain. In order to succeed in his election for consul, Caesar needed the support of Pompey and Crassus, two of the most influential men of the time, so he decided to establish friendly relations with Pompey and Crassus. In 60 BC, Pompey, Crassus, and Caesar, three influential politicians, reached a secret agreement of mutual support, which was historically called the "First Three-headed Alliance". To consolidate this alliance, Caesar married his daughter, who was only 14 years old and was engaged to someone else, to Pompey, who was nearly 50 years old. With the unanimous support of Pompey and Crassus, Caesar was elected consul in 59 BC. After a series of political activities, Caesar has won the support of the majority of the commoners and knights, and has become a powerful figure on par with Pompey and Crassus.

In 58 BC, Caesar became governor of Gaul. He led an army. After three years of war, by the end of 56 BC, he basically annexed the entire Gaul. However, his comrades in Gaul were not stable, and anti-Roman uprisings broke out in Gaul one after another. In the spring of 52 AD, a major uprising against Roman rule broke out throughout Gaul. The main force of the rebels established a strong camp in the city of Alicia in northern Gaul. It was an almost unbreakable castle, and the Romans had no choice but to carry out a long-term siege. Caesar transferred all his troops here, and 200,000 Gallic rebels also gathered at the city of Alicia. A fierce battle between the two sides was inevitable.

Before the battle began, the centaurs built a strong barrier around the city of Alicia. Caesar hoped that these complex and strong fortifications would stop the Gallic attack and supplement his own strength. The Gaul rebels first launched an attack on the Romans 'strong fortifications from both inside and outside. Under the cover of shields, one group after another of Gauls charged forward like ants. During the battle, the morale of the Roman legions began to be low due to the huge losses suffered. Especially after the Roman flag-bearer was cut down, the Roman ranks began to appear a little chaotic. A young Roman soldier panicked and suddenly found that the tower where Caesar had just stood was empty. At the same time, the Roman cavalry on the right side of the camp abandoned their position and sped away at full speed. The young man was desperate.

Suddenly, the Roman soldiers standing behind the fence found that the attack of the Gauls had suddenly weakened. The Gauls, who had just been attacking the Roman fortifications, stopped charging. Their ranks dispersed, and it was their own cavalry that appeared in the eyes of the Romans. It turned out that Caesar commanded his cavalry to copy the rear of the Gauls and give them a fatal blow. After a few short turns, the Gauls began to attack and flee. After that, all the Gauls surrendered. The Battle of Alicia ended unexpectedly. Caesar confronted the Gauls with a 60,000 army of nearly 250,000, and turned the tide of the battle with a surprise cavalry attack, achieving a decisive victory.

The "three-headed alliance" of Caesar, Pompey, and Crassus could not last long. They were a mutually beneficial relationship. Crassus was killed in the war, turning the three-man alliance into a situation where Caesar and Pompey stood side by side. At this time, Caesar's daughter passed away, which meant that the marriage between Caesar and Pompey was interrupted, and a struggle for power between the two was inevitable. As a result, civil war broke out between the slave owners.

In 50 BC, the aristocratic Senate led by Pompey, fearing that Caesar would establish a dictatorship, passed a resolution refusing to extend Caesar's term as governor of Gaul and ordered him to disband the army. Caesar refused to implement this decision. At that time, the vast majority of his army was stationed in Northern Mountain Gaul, with only one legion and some auxiliary troops by his side. In order to grasp the warplanes, after careful planning, Caesar decisively led a legion in January 49 BC, crossing the border between Italy and the Gaul provinces, Bikon, and marched towards Rome with lightning speed. Unprepared, Pompey's opposition hastily led a group of senators and two executives to leave Rome and flee to Greece.

In November of the same year, Caesar led seven legions to land unexpectedly in Greece, and the following spring added four more legions and one cavalry. In June, Caesar fought a decisive battle with Pompey at Pharsalu, Greece. Caesar defeated Pompey completely. Pompey fled to Egypt, where he was killed by the Egyptian king. In 45 BC, Caesar achieved his military dictatorship.

Death of Caesar

On March 15, 44 BC, Julius Caesar, a famous Roman statesman and strategist, was assassinated at a meeting of the Senate. On that day, as soon as Caesar entered the Senate to take his seat, he was surrounded by an opposition group led by Marcus Julius Brutus and others and was attacked. He was killed by 23 knives.

Caesar fought all his life, was resourceful and decisive, and was good at grasping fighter jets. In particular, he could persevere in his strategic intentions with tenacious will under unfavorable circumstances, turn the tide of the war, and demonstrate his extraordinary and superb military art, which left an unparalleled reputation in the history of Rome and even the world.
