Today the Britons go in their thousands to invade the beaches of France, Italy and Spain during the Summer in retaliation. Pillaging their nightclubs and tourist sites.
What i don't understand is how the Britain army fled with more men on the field, and huge numbers of chariots and cavalry.. Why did all the cavalry flee once the Romans pushed farther out? Any general with half a brain would know to encircle the Romans on all flanks, after they committed to chasing down the fleeing British infantry and charging.. No strategy whatsoever was used by the British commander.
@@casper191985 Likely the Britains fought as a make-shift colation of tribes with several commanders, not one (or at least not one with strong overall authority). When one tribe fled, it suddenly became costly for the other tribes to stay, bearing all the costs of the continued fighting. This is why morale of an army (and striking its weak point) is often vastly more important than numbers. If you can make one part of the army flee, often the entire army will turn and run, as well. Good morale has to also be one of the key factors why Roman legions were so strong.
@@casper191985 The British had next to no experience of fighting battles at all, certainly absolutely none against a trained army Tactical command and control did not exist Their style of fighting would have been more recognised by Homer than Tacitus, zero military discipline and their training and loyalties very mixed The cavalry and chariots were accustomed to "heroic" fast moving skirmish, not the hack and slash of melee & their horses were basically ponies
Paying my respects to Briton's commanders and political leaders. They fought well, and predicted Caesar. Of course, Caesar was a man of his time, second to none.
I'm just in aw of how much better this channel gets each video. You all do an amazing job. You paint such a vivid picture. I can see Caesar on his horse marching with his army to face the enemy. I can see the Roman soldiers in formation ready to hold up their shields bracing the wild charges of the barbarian hoards. I can see it all and it's, because of how talented you all are and how much work you put in to these video. Wonderful!
@RAJU PEDDADA Have you tried reaching out to Kings and General directly? They may be able to provide that information directly and perhaps they'll start listing the music in the description in future. May keep you from blowing a fuse ;)
Caesar was better than Napoleon because he won his overall wars Napoleon lost. Napoleon could win battles but couldn't end the war let alone go for peace *cough* failure of tilzit
Except D-Day or Operation Overlord was a well prepared invasion whereas Caesar basically (simplified) grabbed a bunch of men, found a beach in Britain and tried to get ashore.
It's showing how Caesar had his artillery ships shoot at the army while his transport ships moved up the coast. Caesar talks about this in his book De Bello Gallico. I highly recommend but know that it's about half propaganda because he wanted to make himself look even better than he was so the numbers are almost always inflated.
@@westernlynx396 Sometimes he exaggerated with the numbers (but archeological find proove that Caesar's legions were often outnumbered by Celtic and Germanic armies), but according to historians most of the time he was sincere, De Bello Gallico, is considered by modern scholars to be one of the most important ancient sources on Celtic and Germanic peoples, given that Caesar provides a detailed description of their places of origin, of their culture, their military organization and even lists their strengths and weaknesses. If it wasn't for Caesar, much of the Celtic culture would have been forgotten, since they didn't know literature and maybe today we wouldn't know how the Romans conquered Gaul
But then they might ask "why did we invade Britain in the first place?" It was really all about Caesar's ambition and ego, it served little purpose for Rome itself.
@@lkvideos7181 Well of course they did. Conquest was the primary means of advancement for any prominent Roman during the late Republic. My point is that even by late Republican standards, Caesar's justification for his British expedition was remarkably weak.
Dude saw his men stranded, surrounded and about to be obliterated, and, unlike many commanders, didn't just take the losses or just send a force of reinforcements, no. Instead, the utter madman rallies as much of his cavalry as he could, and personally leads the charge against the enemy, risking life and safety to rescue the soldiers under his command. If you can back your ambitions with such heroism, you're a pretty good guy in the Romans' book.
Deep research was done on all Kings and Generals videos. I respect him greatly because I've also done an extensive amount of research into medieval and Antiquity Warfare. Keep the videos, and they're great
Just want to say you've really stepped it up with the artwork as of late, I was especially impressed with the art in your recent Game of Thrones video.
Ah....the Gauls of the village of Armorica, pride of Brittany. Led by the noble chief Vitalstatistix, brother of the great enemy of Caesar, Vercingetorix
Kings And Generals video and it being a Roman one to boot is a great start to my Sunday and is almost as good as I rewatch it now! Ill finish with a Game of Thrones episode tonight and I can call that a great day and night for this young spring! Thank you as always Gents!
Those were epic campaigns, Caesar was able to win in any situations, even when his armies were outnumbered he managed to encourage the Romans fighting in first person. He was more than a simple general, he was a military genius and an extraordinary intelligent man. I do not believe that in the course of history there have been generals more powerful than Cesar...
Ceasar, in his admiration to Alexander the Great, significantly mirrored the command maxim of the late Macedon king, of which he really attached his ambitions to and together, form the Ceasar Roman soldiers loved back then. Great documentary as always!
Great vid as always. Could you possibly cover the siege of Szigetvar? It was a rather important battle against the Ottomans which for some reason often gets overlooked.
One of the best channels on youtube, i always enjoying the content, especially this gallic, germanic wars for a reason... The "victorious" romans reshaped the qonquered nations lifes and cultures. They destroyed almost completely the celts history and they almost stamped every nations fate on this little but historically rich continent when they entered into another world on this planet, the realm of order, asia...
@@gautruc One million Gauls, 150,000 Germanics at Kessel. At least. One million might be a bit high but it is widely know (common knowledge) that Caesar was genocidal. That is a fact which is backed by archaeological evidence at Kessel and elsewhere. He killed tens of thousands, perhaps millions of men, women and children and bragged about it.
@@gautruc I'm very aware EVERY nation on earth have a history of genocide. That's irrelevant, a logical fallacy. I'm not talking about a nation but an individual. I am not talking about the Roman Empire, I'm talking about Caesar. People worship him, and fair enough, he was objectively great in terms of his achievements. But he was genocidal, that is a fact.
@@KingsandGenerals Is that an easter egg joke, or is that meant to represent real documented missile attacks by the Romans against forces on the shore?
Small critique: on the map the landing site of the Romans in Britain, you show the Isle of Thanet (Where Pegwell is) in its modern form (connected to Britain) while 2000 years ago the Isle of Thanet was a seperate island via the Wantsum channel.
Great video as always :) Though, someone correct me if I'm wrong, I think the symbol for the Veneti is one used by the Adriatic Veneti rather than the Gallic Veneti. Looking forward to more videos!
Julius Caeser was the best General that Rome produced despite his war crimes against many people. Nevertheless, have to salute to the way he handled battles. Great video and thanks for creating it.
@@KingsandGenerals Aww, and here I was hoping it was a massive winged bear (with fantastic eyesight) flying down and mowing through the armies of King Arthur and his Merry Men.
all these ferocious tribes were fearful of Caesar and his reputation, he is truly the most fascinating, prestigious and legendary Roman figure who has ever lived before,
1:21 The year is 56 B.C. Gaul is entirely occupied by the Romans. Well not entirely! One small village of indomitable Gauls still holds out against the invaders. And life is not easy for the Roman legionaries who garrison the fortified camps of Totorum, Aquarium, Laudanum and Compendium...
Hell yes! Thank you for finally covering this topic. The interesting thing about the late Republican Roman army is it contained various Celtic and Germanic auxiliaries as cavalry and missile troops to augment Roman legionary heavy infantry. They were present with Crassus at Carrhae and even when Ptolemy XII Auletes, father of Cleopatra VII Philopator, was reinstalled on the throne of Egypt by Aulus Gabinianus and his "Gabiniani" soldiers originating from Gaul & Germania.
Could you guys do a special about Boudicca? Like there's like only three youtube vids and one documentary on her and to be honest I never even heard of her before until a few months ago and I'm like a Roman Campaign fanatic. Awesome video by the way! Never heard of this landing before!
@@Thin_Mercury yeah well still would like to see this channel's take. Not so much her as a person but the campaigns themselves. History is loaded with lil nuggets
I am impressed with the Britons. They did the best out of any Celtic group. It is too bad the island was not a united confederacy of tribes, supplying 100,000 soldiers to surprise and surround Caesar. They could have wiped him out. I also do not doubt, the Druids worshipped their gods and summoned that storm. The Druids were powerful magicians and Britain was the home of the bloody "witchcraft " Celtic religion, which terrified the Romans.
I have one simple question, how do we get a similar map to the one you're annotating in order to stay organized? Eventually you get to a point where you can't recall all regional battles because you've watched so many :S.

Strange thing how Caesar tried twice to invade Britain and destroy the catuvellauni tribe, The second time coming with loads more men , Yet BOTH times Caesar LOST over half his fleet crossing the narrow English channel back to France. Once is bad enough, but twice is ludicrous, nobody would cross a narrow channel in bad weather unless they had no other choice. Obviously Caesar had no other choice than run away from the Celts into a storm and lose more of his own men . To give some idea , the English channel is so narrow people actually swim across it from Dover to Calais.
Here's some alternate history of how the conquest of Britain should have gone down: *Britons charging towards the Roman lines* *Ceasar:* "Load catapults!" *Roman soldiers loading catapults with tea and crumpets* *Britons continue charging and are now within the range of fire.* *Ceasar:* Ready... aim* *Britons almost upon them....* *Ceasar:* "Fire catapults!" *Britons stop at mid-charge as tons of tea and crumpets rain down upon them. They all begin dropping their swords, and pick some of up and consume it, thus becoming civilized British people on the spot. *Britons now speaking with English accents:* "Jolly good, then. Come have tea with us, won't you??" And that's where the English came from! Lol. I'm of British descent, so I'm allowed to make those jokes😁😁
Map of 1:29 is wrong.only the senate had the power to incorporate a territory.caesar had defeated the Gauls and extorting resources from them but it was no Roman province.

*Britons stop at mid-charge as tons of tea and crumpets rain down upon them. They all begin dropping their swords, and pick some of up and consume it, thus becoming civilized British people on the spot.
*Britons now speaking with English accents:* "Jolly good, then. Come have tea with us, won't you??"
And that's where the English came from! Lol. I'm of British descent, so I'm allowed to make those jokes😁😁
Map of 1:29 is wrong.only the senate had the power to incorporate a territory.caesar had defeated the Gauls and extorting resources from them but it was no Roman province.
I suppose you are right but, I think Caesar is at the starting point of I Am The Senate at this point.
