"Caesar quickly built a bridge."
-- Roman history in a nutshell.
what a fucking n-word.
Rome goes anywhere they fucking want
Force multipliers. Great generals understand this concept.
Hardly, Maybe if your simple minded like yourself
even the Judean People's Liberation Front could agree on that much
"Caesar slaughtered 40,000 locals and replenished his supplies"

@@adamschaeffer4057 Do you find it Risible?
When in doubt, build a wall.
- Julius Caesar, 50 BC
@Hope Rocco Now we know that lying about who is paying for the wall can be their downfall. Turns out the other side never paid for it and had the last laugh.
Hey did Trump ever build that wall? It's like he got into office and stopped talking about it.
@@ricky-sanchez Nope. It was a scam all along. Luckily most Americans did not fall for it.
@@ricky-sanchez yes. Mexico is now the entire wall.
@@ricky-sanchez he built about 16 miles of wall. And a private organization got in a scandal after being donated millions upon millions but never building more than 4 miles, which had to be taken down due to illegal construction anyhow.
Imagine being able to talk to one of Ceasars veterans and hear about everything they went thru... So many amazing stories lost forever in history.
Many did and you can find passages from many who there at the time right through from general tribunes to centurions and foot soldiers alike.
Go to the British library and ask see references of Ceaser campaigns.
Luckily for us all the Romans was a stickler for keeping records hence why we know so much about the Romans
Yeah much is lost AND we can't get that back and that's fucking sad.
But we have many writings and that's beautyfull but talking to someone would be better and cooler ngl
What's really sad is the stuff that we will never learn about til Time Travel is a research tool for history.
@@mrknowles1540 what’s interesting is that only a fraction of primary sources and records actually survived since Rome as a political entity disappeared. So the fact we know this much with what little we have left is amazing.
It's crazy how a youtube channel overtakes the history channel in viewership while showing actual history.
because this one got actual facts in it
This channel jumps to the actions and excitement. If you take time to sit and watch history documentaries you will see often time how they put things into context. Having a grasp on certain aspects of history is one thing but truly understanding how a society functioned is another thing, those history channel docs really help in that arena.
aRe AlIeNs ReAl?
@@andrewanderson5948 This channel's able to jump to the action and excitement because it's like a 300-level college course. It respects the intelligence of its viewers and understands that most of us have familiarized ourselves with the historical context through content on other UA-cam channels (Historia Civilis' "His Year" series is a great 100-level introduction to the major players of the late Republic), elsewhere on the Internet (like Mike Duncan's History of Rome podcast), or in books.
The real impressive bit is that there are enough of us smart folks to outnumber the people watching the "History" channel and learning nothing.
@@thecutandthrust6742 thats literally what the commenter that you replied to said, big brain.
This Caesar guy seems really talented. He should consider going into politics back home
"Ah, young Julius Caesar. We will watch your career with great interest."

* *_mild discontent and worry about enemy armies_*
Caesar: “That’s okay, those that do not wish to fight do not have to.”
* *_suppressed feelings of relief_*
Caesar: “I guess it’s just going to be me and the 10th legion. They never turn down a chance to fight defending our home and the Republic, as all true Sons of Rome do.”
**Other Legions start charging towards barbarians*
Its kind of funny how people pretty much universally considered their neighbors barbaric if they were different ethnic groups.
Pyrhuss of epirus called the romans barbarians and was quite shocked when he scouted their camp and witnessed how organized the "barbarians" were.
@@resentfuldragon because barbarians means just that, outsiders
Caesar: "Wow, that worked ?"
@@resentfuldragon which battle
His victory at Alesia can’t even be believed. They had him encircled and he proved again that he would do ANYTHING to protect his men and win. This episode was simply amazing. I love your channel
Helpless situation:
Caesar: we'll build a bridge/fort/boats/ramps/seige equipment/wall/ almost instantly.
There, that will solve it.
😂😂💯
Niclas Lööf if I was a military general I’d have people with those skills in my legions
@Insomnia Blaze i think he means the situations were normally so bad that other generals would use conventional tactice to try and win, and lose because of that, but Caesers love of all thigns construction meant he had the force multiplier of walls/bottlenecks/transports more often than not!
Bob Saturday No, Caesar conquered the world. His great nephew followed him up by becoming the richest person ever.
Bob Saturday Google “Richest person ever” and you will find Caesar Augustus listed at number one with an estimated worth of 4 Trillion Dollars. No other person in history has had the wealth and power Augustus had.

Over 2,000 years later and Caesar's tactics in the Gaulic conflicts are still studied and the seige of Alesia remarkable.Looking at a video however one cannot truly comprehend the level of engineering and skill used by Rome. I've seen their walls, seige ramps, and aqueducts. That these were built with human and animal power aided with few mechanical tools makes them all the more amazing. Then there was sheer Roman bravery, tenacity, endurance, and utter ruthlessness. Their still standing edifices whould not be missed by anyone with an interest in history.
I heard that not only the Gallic wars are taught, but also the wars of Julius Caesar, his battles and wars in Britain and Spain. Is this true?????
@@aronhayse9895
It is only Caesar's campaigns in Gaul, Britain and Spain, if there are other campaigns for Caesar to be taught
The cruelty of the Romans was exactly the same as that of their enemies.
@@jorgegonzalez-pv8mv If only more efficient
"Who are we fighting against now?" every Roman soldiers under Julius Caesar.
"Barbarians!"
That reminded me of what the mountain said to Cersei when she approached him about becoming her champion against Tyrion in his trial by combat.. “who am I fighting?”
It makes me extremely sad that the Gauls for the most part are forgotten and overlooked, the Germanics get all the spotlight and attention. As a modern Gaul (Wallon) i love my Gaulish heritage, in fact Julius Caesar wrote extensively about how the Gaulish Belgae constantly kicked Germanic ass east and west of the rhine.
@@NicaraguanNacatamale The Y-DNA haplogroup is a genetic marker passed down only from fathers to sons. Of these Y-DNA haplogroups there's R1b - a Celtic genetic marker, which is the dominant marker amongst the French, Wallonians, Spaniards/Portuguese (Celto-Iberians) and northern Italians (Cisalpine Gaul) whereas the dominant marker for the Flemish, Dutch, Germans, Austrians etc is the I1 - a Germanic genetic marker. So the Wallonians are the true "Belgians" in the sense that you're the real descendants of the Gaulish Belgae of which Belgium was named after.
@@NicaraguanNacatamale from what i have learned throughout my life, the gauls are a huge topic!
Actually, from my side of the border it seems like theres only being talked about the gauls, not the germanic tribes ;) Hope this lightens you up.
Vercengetorix: It’s over Caesar I have the high ground!
Caesar: You underestimate my imperium!
@Cline Abbie yes it wass hell back then....and ceaser rose and greeted it with a smile gladius in hand
More like:
Vercingetorix: It‘s over Caesar I have the high ground!
Caesar: *Literally creates a mountain to have an even higher ground*
@Cline Abbie that was the dark times in all the world,
tribal wars in america too before the arrive of the white man, there was wars, killings and slavery, between native americans tribes in center america and southamerican
@@marvinsilverman4394 Without wars, technology would not have advanced so much, etc. Without wars we would be in the stone age
Yep.thats filarious.
Caesar: "Surround them and build a wall!"
Officer: "We're done sir, but we have information that they might be getting reinforcements."
Caesar: "Well, build another wall then!"
Caesar, such a great battlefield commander. He always figured out a way to defeat enemies in a very disadvantaged position. The tens of thousands of Gauls, Germans could not kill him. But it only took a handful of politicians to cause him death.
Caesar’s true genius was in the stage before the battle, constructing fortifications and denying enemy troops their supplies. Then when the battle finally started, his foes discovered the hard way that unfortunately, the game was rigged.
And things haven't changed much... Sort of the same thing happened at Bagram afb last year. Soldiers hung out to dry by the politicians....
It's actually insane how much Caesar went through and managed to survive through it. So many battles where everything is against him, and during the civil war, he charged towards the front lines _on foot_ to fight with his soldiers himself and lived.
@@lyonvensa he only fought once on the front lines in the civil war I believe, when they were wrapping up the war in Spain as a symbolic gesture and for his own honour he physically joined the men in the last major battle of the civil war can’t blame him he was in his 50s
The glass breaking sound is so satisfying
Rome: An army of engineers
From 27 BC until 1453 AD is "short history" , interesteing...
edit: if you count the republic it's even more, 509 BC to 1453 AD
s I think this video begs to differ about romans being “weak”
@s yeah so weak that they made the Mediterranian their public lake
@s Wow, guess you've never heard that idiom; "Better to be quiet and be thought an idiot, than open your mouth and remove all doubt." You do realize Rome wasn't just a city back then?
@s yes, most Americans aren't actually from Washington DC
Caesar was a TOP military genius. I really liked reading his war accounts.
The way he understated things made me smile at the audacity of it.
eg. Offer to the conquered chieftain:
"As a show of our goodwill we will send your eldest son to be educated in Rome."
Subtext: we won't kill him if you get your tribe to keep the peace.
@@myparceltape1169 Not just Caesar but Rome itself and and other powers saw things that way.
*This is the thing many legendary conquerors have in common: Being in the fight with thier men, eating the same food, riding under the rain with them and generally sharing thier hardship. This is why thier men loved them so much and would push themselves so hard to make thier leaders proud.*
A man with the full loyalty of his army will never need to consider betray, and will trust his men to do the impossible
Now, in politics, You can never trust nobody...
Germanic tribes: exist
Ceasar: "You know the rules, and so do I"
Is that where Rick astley got that line?
@@slowmo9642 You have to be a certain age but Great comment.
“ Long-term acquisition is what I’m thinking of. You won’t get this from any other Gaius.”
Caesar: *exists*
Germanic Tribes: Why do I hear boss music?
(¥)
One factor that doesn''t get talked about enough in these wars is that Rome had a standing army and reserve system while the tribal coalitions they fought had to be summoned from the region's tribes. The warriors of these tribes also often had to worry about their farms back home while the legionnaires did not.
True, in comparison it was the opposite for the Roman soldier. Many of them where promised a plot of land as payment after their service.
Well yes, Rome was so dominant and basically unrivalled because of 3 reasons:
1) professional, disciplined and well trained army
2) superior tactics
3) superior logistics
This is why they always won, usually heavily outnumbered.

Don’t educate me I know more than you They military was inferior to Africans ahahahhaahagga. That’s ridiculous. Africans and North American’s didn’t even have armour. Or steel. Or tactics. And most Roman inventions are Roman.
@Don’t educate me I know more than you You are a troll rigth? You can not be serious. American and african tribes being more military advanced than ROME? Rome defeated the Gauls, Iberians, Carthaginians, greeks, macedonians, dacians, germans, persians, parthinans, armenians, egypitans, britons, thracians, and I could go on and on. Rome was and always will be the grestest and most prestigious empire which ever existed, countless nations tried to claim Rome's mantle (the HRE, Russia, Otoman empire, sultanate of Rum, even the papal states) but none will ever come close to Rome's glory. The Romans were building roads which endure to today times while African and American people lived in huts made of mud. A Roman Legion leaded by a conpetent commander could not be defeated by anyone in their time. ROMA INVICTA!!!
I just started reading Caesar's "Commentaries on the Gallic Wars" and it's nice to have this video as an accompanying piece to actually see where the campaigns took place and the disposition of forces during each major battle.
"not wanting to lose the initiave, Caesar quickly built a bridge across the river, and moved all of his 6 legions across" In one day... when it took the others 20. Damn the Romans truly were the OG combat engineers! I bet they had so many cool methods that've been lost to time...
We only recently found out how they built their concrete which is objectively better than modern concrete. The secret was seawater, which is quite interesting and I wonder how the romans even realized it made concrete better.
Unfortunately, it requires decades to become as resilient as the roman ones, so we can't exactly use it for roads that cars use.
@@resentfuldragonWell to be fair Roman roads were constructed entirely differently

Ariovestus: If the Romans could conquer where and how they liked, so could he.

Ariovistus
Ceasar: You are damn right we can conquer what we like! Right now I like to CONQUER YOUR ASS!!
Ariovistus: You are welcome to it!
*negotiations continued privately in a separate tent*
He sure had a lot Gaul to say that.
I think someone back in Rome paid him to get rid of Ceasar
This video is a brilliant example of how video, great production, presentation and delivery can make history come alive. Imagine if we taught history this way in schools and other forums. This is brilliantly done. Great job of putting the focus on the early part of the campaigns before Caesar faced off against Vercongetarix!
Say what you will about Caesar, the guy is cunning, deliberate and clever. When shit needs to get done in battle, the guy just throws himself to the front line. Whether appealing to soldiers ego's to get them onside, or leading from the front, the guy really, really knows how to lead.
My admiration for Rome grows bigger with every new fact I learn about it.
tell me about it , its even better when you are decended of the Romans as well, like me .
Rome was built by slaves. We should be outraged and tear down what remains.

@@thomasbrady3827 yeah, but compared to the massive amount of historical knowledge on battles and historical army tactics leading an army of 300 000 would be very difficult for the tribes, especially all said to be equipped and be genuine warriors, not even saying how difficult that would be to fight against such an enormous swarm of people, don't forget that you have to be able to supply them and be able to create camps for those 300 000, it is most likely there was less soldiers.

I love how you gave consideration that the coastline of the Netherlands was different in the first century BCE then now a days. Though one might argue that the coastline was a bit further out at sea, and the zuiderzee/lacus vlevius being smaller then depicted.
I also remember that there was an "Insula Batavorum" close to the Delta but I can't see any
This is such a fabulously thorough depiction of all that happened in Gaul - something usually left to the dark corners of historical study, and yet so crucially important. Thanks for this gift!

Caesar's campaign in Gaul would today be called a Crime against Humanity, where in his time, it was normal operating procedure.
And what would you call the butchery, rape and slaughter of 3/4 of the population in the sacking of Rome by the Gauls in 390 BC, when Rome was minding their own business and was not yet a real military power? Well, their 'Vae Victis' was not to be forgotten and 3 centuries later the score was to be settled. Only this time the Gauls would not be facing women and children, but an army of legionaires, with 'square balls'. Pardon the 'french'.

I'm so glad I was born when I was. Life must have been hell back then
kinda fun if it's all you know maybe?
Being a Viking does sound pretty gamer though...
Especially when raiding defenceless monasteries.
@@theliberator5126 i used to be adventurer , then i took arrow in knee.
You most probably won't live long enough to know hell back then.
Just as hard now..different but the same really
I never really got to study Caesar’s campaigns in detail during school. This is super appreciated and it’s pretty engaging. Thank you! 😁
Wow this is great stuff. Strategy, logistics, politics,, geography, cultures, personalities audio and video presentations galore! Really love your videos, this one in particular.
excellent narration, the people that bring you
these videos deserve a lot of thanks from the
listeners
I love how whenever Caesar wins, it’s because of his personal intervention, but whoever there’s a reverse, it’s because someone else messed up... guess that’s what happens when you write your own story.
He wrote his warfare news on Gaul?
Joseph Green yeah that’s pretty much how history looked at Hitlers war victories as well, even though that was far from the case.
@@thesauceman8457 who cares about hitty hitler? that guy was already an idiot just because he had his retarded ideology.
@@Ktsquare2008 yes,the book is "Comentarii de Bello Gallico",
@@Ktsquare2008 Yeah but he couldn't out right lie as others where writing back to Rome as well.
Gaul wasn't completely conquered. a little village on the western coast still held out against the Romans 😀
and the germans to
By Toutatis!
Wish we could go back in time and... “correct” that mistake😏😤🔥
I never got the hype. Asterix was boring because there was no suspense. The gauls always just activated their cheat and won no matter what.
@@Likexner It’s meant to be comedy
I am so glad I found this channel, now real history documentaries seem to have been largely removed from tv it's awesome to find this, thanks
The helveti were planning the unification of certain regions and were on the way to wage war
And in reports there was a remark about how basically none of the fallen had wounds in their backs which was astonishing
"Surrender, Julius! You will never set foot in here!"
- The Gauls
Caesar: So I started Conquering
Caesar: *Proceeds to set foot in there*
“No.... You.” - Julius Caesar
Caesar: took it personally
K&G: Julius Caesar will return.
Best teaser ever.
gauls: no pls
Such an amazing documentary! So thorough. I'm sure it was a difficult to put together. Thank you.
I've been enjoying your videos a lot! Thanks for making them!
Congrats to K & G, and Devin with the legendary voice.
Hva er MGTOW?
@@FTWNorwayFTW Check my blog. 😉
I knew Ceasar was great but never knew how great. Thank you for this video! Definitely one of the best produced I've ever seen.
It is a man's character that makes him great not the amount of people he has killed. Ceaser and the Romans in general were evil.
Gauls are not organized opponent.
@@ashtavakra3710 lmao I guess every nation in history is evil.
Everyone in history has always killed and enslaved one another, its just that some people are better at doing this then others.
@@stephenrusso6019 no my friend it's rather that we tend to forget those people who were actually great. People who brought peace and prosperity to all not at the expense of others but through their own efforts. Insted we focus on shallow things like conquests or riches. Think about the difference between Tesla and Edison, we forget the teslas and Remember only the edisons.
I'm just reading a book Conquest of Gaul and this video is brilliant! Thank you so much, great job! 😍 Now I can imagine all the events better. 🙏
Truly amazing content! Accurate and to the point. Great outlay of history
That was the best documentary of the Gallic Wars that I've ever seen!! This perfectly shows the military genius of Caesar!! Thank you for this and congratulations on 1M subscribers!!
Historia Civilis has a good one too but you're right this is awesome as well
This is the better of the 2 by far!
@@donaldcrawfordiii554 I wouldn't go that far, they just look at different aspects of the compaigns
Wyattrox 03 fair enough sir!
You can't accuse Julius of being lazy!!
Congrats on reaching 1 million subscribers👍
I love so much that you guys use rome total war footage for examples, these documentarys are the reason why i love strategy game like the total war series
this is the best history channel I have ever seen. marvelous!
Gaul's Got Talent judges: "So what are you going to sing, *Assurancetourix?"*
He is called "Cacofonix" in English.
Almost one hour and a half ❤️. What did we do to deserve this? 🤗
1 million baby
Im new to this channel, does he use total war for some of his animations ha ? it looks familiar to me.
Kappa are you crazy?
@Kappa This is a congregated version of 6 split videos
Kappa 3 parts*
Excellent Tactical Graphics depicting the Big Second Battle where Caesar broke the Foe. This Presentation has turned out to be quite an informative account of Caesar and his conquest in Gaul. Well Done. Well worth the Watch. Thank you .
This is Art, what a beautiful presentation. Really enjoyed the effort put into it. Wow. Thank you, now back to the show...
Julius Caesar seemed to resort to "starving out" tactics more often than before after the Germans used said tactics so well against his own forces. What an intense period the times of the Roman Empire must have been for the tribal people's of Europe on almost every side.
Excellent documentary.
Love this stuff thank you so much for doing these videos.
Amazing presentation, how much dedication to history you guys display!
Thank YOU guys so much for so much QUALITY content!
1:24 "famous general Pompey the Great, the richest man in Rome Crassus, and Julius Ceasar"
Looks like at this point Ceasar has no merits worth mentioning.
Well he was consul i guess
@@bigm9300 He only became a consul after the triumvirate was formed, and thanks to support of Pompey and Crassus.
There were a few achievements, but in comparison to the other two, Caesar was still a minor player.
Kings and Generals he conquered territory in modern Spain and was hailed imperator
That's why he was so eager to go prove himself.
Holy crap! I've been getting into the Roman Empire recently and your videos have been... I don't even know how to call it. I feel ashamed that I get to watch this for free. Thank you!
Roman general: sir, we are outmatched 3 to 1!! Caesar: then it’s a fair match!!
Love learning about Caesar, absolutely my favourite character of ancient Rome. Real shame for the world that he was murdered, guy was a genius.
Genius murdered? Wow ..1st time ever
He was a piece of shit who slaughtered untold amount of people in a never ending series of atrocities. Glad the Senate finally grew the balls to just kill him.
@@overbeb Stay mad.
overbeb but one of the nation’s caesar was beating would come back to haunt Rome after caesar was murdered
@@overbeb You are an idiot , comparing morality of now to 2000 years ago (when everyone was doing this ) is just silly.
After all this though a small Armorican village will became a headache to Caesar and Romans.
@Anom It's a reference to the French comic book "Asterix" that depict the story of a resisting Gaullish village surrounded by Romans. :)
Oh hell yeah, I LOVE asterix, it was like my whole childhood
I was waiting for someone to comment on that. 🤣🤣🤣
This is phenomenal !! Thank you so much !!
I love this video and this channel. Albert Einstein "If you can't explain it simply, you don't understand it well enough." reflect this channel's effort. Thank you for making History simple for us !
This is one of my favorite documentary videos of all time on all of UA-cam - well worth paying for ! ⭐
Congrats on 1million subs. You truly deserve it. K&G and Invicta are two of my favourite channels. Your history videos are awesome and very professionally made. Keep up the good work. Here's to more.
Agreed. I concur. Do you concur?
Thank you for this upload❤️
Pretty sure I have watched this entire series several times now. It is just so good!
This is So well documented. Brilliant Work Kings and Generals. Haven't seen such Quality work. I will soon be part of your patreon page too
Incredible documentary, finished it in 1 sitting, that's how gripping it was.
Population of southern France got 33% Roman genes while having only 20% Gallic genes and 5% Frankish genes (beginning of the 20th century stats)
While the population of northern France got 20% Roman genes, 20% Gallic genes and 31% Frankish genes.
Even today, with the 20th and 21th centuries migrations, you can still observe the difference between northern and southern France population. That difference being not just cultural not just climatic but also in the amount of Roman and Frankish inherited genes.
wtf you talking about there is no "roman" genes in France goofy the french stayed a celtic population with some germanic kings until the revolution and its only since italians started mass immigration to france in 1850 that the amount of "roman" genes started increasing
This is great work indeed. Please continue doing a documentary about Rome.
