Why Julius Caesar is important in history

Julius Caesar is very important to our history because of his military tactics and the way he changed ROME. Some will say he was a tyrant but in those times he would have had to be ruthless.To add to that, he about ended the civil war going on in Rome with Pompeii and he is responsible for changing Rome from a republic to a empire. He also was the man who was responsible for adding all of GAUL or Europe to the empire. One is that Cicero, who provides so much of our information on Caesar, hated him as the enemy of republican government. The second is that Augustus, Caesar’s successor, found it prudent to draw a veil over Caesar’s career as a dictator. For this reason the poets who wrote during Augustus’s reign hardly mention Caesar. Livy, who wrote the standard history of the republic, was scolded, in the friendliest way, by Augustus for being a supporter of Pompey.
re, including England.
