Caesar Conquered For Rome
Julius Caesar was a very important Roman military leader. He conquered many places and expanded the great Roman Empire. Caesar conquered what the Romans called Gaul. This was made up of almost all modern France, Belgium, and Switzerland. He also proceeded to conquer the west bank of the River Rhine, which is now located in modern Germany. He led an expedition across the Rhine, into what was then called Germania,and twice led expeditions to Britain. In both of these territories Caesar eventually withdrew, so he didn't make any conquests in these areas. Spain had been under Roman control since the second Punic War, around 150 years before the conquest of Gaul. Rome aquired egypt in 31 BC which was under control by Cleopatra.
