In the previous episodes of our animated historical documentary series on the Gallic Wars, Julius Caesar managed to defeat the Belgae and subjugated most of Gaul, however, political situation in Gaul and Rome forced him to embark on new campaigns: Between 56 and 55 BC Caesar defeated the Gallic Veneti and then became the first Roman to invade Germania and Britannia.

Where did he go next? Disneyworld?
I think your map of Gaul is wrong, the tribes on the Côte d'Azur were not conquered by Rome until Augustus
Kings and Generals as always, an awesome video
Can you please add the names of the music used in the description?
Another great video my Lord
Senate: You engaged in unauthorized warfare!
Caesar: NO IT WAS ARMED EXPLORATION.
Senate:Say no more J.C. you cool. Have 4 more legions.
The history of Rome, 2003 to 2019
Right?
The senate at this point was clearly a farce. They had no real power over Caesar at this point.
Lol the parallels to modern day US of A is hilarious
@@Madhattersinjeans they have many other legions under their control. That's y civil war happened.
Caesar: It was a special military operation.
*Sees map at beginning*
Caesar's been busy during the mid-season break.
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
e james no he never faced a unified German army.
e james ok but Julius Caesar wasn’t there and it wasn’t so much a battle then hit and run gurreila warfare.
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.
LOL
wait that sounds like World War 2 and the Napoleonic campaign in Spain tbh
Civilised peoples cower at the extravagant tattoos and bleached, spiked-up hair of the half-naked British Chavii forces.

@@opalanhorsemen6310 hmmm good choices..
Roman vessels fired into Briton calvary in waist-deep water! What a spectacular scene in Caesar's D-Day.
That's some Age of Empires sh!t right there.
Ave Caesar divino e immortale la sua gloria vivrà per sempre
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.
By this time, Caesar is a Skill 10 Field Marshal
My Great Uncle Dennis Weber saved your country, but was later captured in the Battle of the Bulge.
It's a shame how he met his end. No way for him to go out.
My man has brilliant strategist, logistics expert, and adaptable as well
Not as good as the actual Napoleon 1st
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
Talk about the Roman D-Day. Pegwell is essentially Omaha !
@Vyrex420 I thing he was talking bout Omaha Beach at D-Day in the Normandy.
Vyrex420 hes probabbly just using omaha since it was where the fighting and casualties were fiercest..
@Vyrex420 What Roter and Razgriz were saying, I was referring to the Omaha beach. Could have worded that better LOL.
@Vyrex420 Dumbass
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.
Step 1: Get force together
Step 2: Invade mythical island, Brittania
Step 3: ....
Step 4: Profit!
And on that fateful day, Caesar would be known as Caesar vi Britannia
Inspired from Oversimplified??
@@charlesxii2660 I love seeing code geass quotes
@@jason4275 Not remotely as much a the Romans hoped
@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 ;)
16:51 and people wonder why his men admired him ?
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.
@@desmondd1984 You say that as if the vast majority of Roman rulers didn't look after their own prestige and ambitions above everything else lol
@@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.
@@desmondd1984 Oh yeah, there is no doubt about that.
He was still a very admirable military leader, front leader even, and strategist.
If my German teacher sees me watching this I’m screwed. Good news is he is a Barbarian meaning I can justify running him through with a gladius.
😂😂😂 that's pretty funny
faks sake ^^
considering you are speaking a Germanic language, you too. Are a barbarian.. :o
Says a fuckin t-rex
@platypus a hey, pants are much better than Roman dresses
Rome and kings/generals... Epic combo 🙌
Caesar being like "Yo, I crossed the Rhine." "Hey look I am in Britain bitches!!"
I bet he took some awesome selfies! With likes in the millions!!!
11:50 'Come on you apes, Do you want to live forever!' Aquilifer, 10th Legion, Britannia 55BC
"throws the insigna beyond the enemy lines"
1:44 - *Scientifically accurate* Asterix and oBelix
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!
Thank you very much!
Thanks for you beautiful comment!
The artwork in this video is gorgeous! More of this please :D
thanks a lot!
More on Thursday
@@KingsandGenerals Awesome! :D
The 3d scenes - and the music as well - often remind me of the PC game Rome Total War ;)
Do a video about the tribe of obelix and asterix, and their magic potion!
Some said they can send people flying in orbit just by uppercutting them 😂
Now that's a reference i wasn't expecting. Not that I'm complaining.
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
You mean... SKOOMA
By building that bridge Caesar sent a clear message to the Germans: "The Rhine is`nt a Barrier,we can come for you anytime we want"
I rarely say this about a youtube channel but i bloody love this one, History Time and Historia Civilis. The ultimate youtube trio
My Lamp Doesn't Work Epic History TV💪
What's with that one catapult destroying a unit of of troops from the ship at 10:40? xD
I mean, if they just stood there stationary like in Total War, it is accurate xD
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.
@@lkvideos7181 Who in Britain would have even heard of artillery
@Águila701 Haha you don't know Caesar then.
@@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
This channel made me love history more!
I get so excited getting these notifications! Keep up the great work Kings and Generals!!
We will, thank you!
Just watching the eagle bearers storm Britans beaches reminds me how far pride can take you
As always you deliver excellent work.
I was contemplating wheter I'd pre-order Imperator:Rome or not, but this series just made buy it. Good job, love your content.
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
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...
Napoleon?
I absolutely love this channel... I’m so happy I found you 🤣❣️👍
Fantastic videos on Cæsar! Thank you, I forward to more videos on Cæsar ❤️✨
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.
I am responsible for this one and GoT series+Mesopotamia. Thanks alot my friend! 👍
No problem man, really love the art style and hopefully you continue to work with K&G.
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!
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!
Yes been waiting for something like this.
Another amazing video!
I wish I couldve fought with Caesar. One of the greatest historical figures. This man also loved his men and showed how quickly he tried saving them.
He was a genocidal maniac
@@Anglisc1682 for all standard you count, then count your recent history with your generals, counting how many deaths they caused.
@@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.
@@Anglisc1682 can I ask what country you come from. It is matter of time, I will point out genocidal from your country.
@@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.
Great!! Keep up the good work! Love watching Rome videos!!
This is so interesting! Really incredible to see and learn about!
Awesome video please do more of videos of Caesar!
thank you for great video
Great work about my favourite battle! Unfortunately, there aren't movie about this wonderful Roman D-Day...
Could you do an episode on Alfred the great? Love your channel. Thanks for all the hard work you all put it. :)
Thank you!
Another amazing video
Thank you very much!
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.
We will!
The music is REALLY GOOD. Goosebumbs
Thanks!
Amazing production
love this channel
Thanks!
Ceaser was without any doubt a genious, not only military but also in politics ...
That must be why he got killed by dozens of his politician coworkers in the house of government....
@@EndOfSmallSanctuary97 Nobody likes a smartass - Brutus
@@EndOfSmallSanctuary97 He was a bit to ambitious even for a rome boi
The Veneti were a bit like the Venetians of ancient Gaul
A man with unending energy.
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...
That little rock at 10:35.
Thanks for noticing :-)
@@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?
Easter egg
Thank you!
My favourite video so far
16:50 It was actions like this that made his men undying loyal to him, that he would personally go out of his way to save them
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!
more please not enough of these perfect stories
Roman Empire is one of the most powerful empires in the history! VENI VIDI VICI
Cegesh where I said that it isn't
Great series
another video that i watch only for art style
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.
Wow. You guys got the size and shape of the Netherlands right. Haven't seen that a lot on historical channels
This gave me goosebumps. Wow.
love ur channel got an a+ on my history assignment thx to you
Happy to hear that!
Great video as usual! Only thing that I felt was missing was the fate of the Venetii. Savage as fuck
Great video. Just a minor point, the map of Kent was different in 55bc there is a channel leading out to Pegwell bay which creates the isle of Thanet.
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!
@@alabamaisyourdaddy6137 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
Youre not British i can tell that much lmao
Fun video. 😎👍
Love this series so much, can you tell me the soundtrack of the closing minutes in this video ? I love hearing it :) thnx
Third time I've watched this, love it!
Thanks!
@@KingsandGenerals You're welcome please do more Cesar /Roman videos I'm hooked
Do you guys have sources? I love this stuff and my watch a bunch of videos like these. I also have to write a couple essays on this, one for my latin class. Sources would be really helpful. Thx
Cool vid !
Ohh the drawings are something new! awesome.
Amazing literally expanding my imagination.
whats the song at 17:10 always hear it at end of the videos
Great video please make about Caesar's German Cavalry
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.
Graet video
hello, your channel is extremely helpful, i don't know what software you use to make such great videos. Can you help me ?
Photoshop to draw the art and create the infographics, After Effects for animation and video/sound edit, Machinima for TW footages.
The Romans had three weapons: their swords, their discipline, their bricklayer trowels.
*Welcome to your daily dose of history with Kings & Generals and lets just draw a sword into it!* :)
Great ! Keepem coming ! My bell is on ! 👍 👍
Good!
Sir,great video indeed.
I beg you to give the links so that I could put persian subtitles on it.
Thanks a lot
I love your all videos make some more, im from philippines can make a video about, lapu lapu vs magellan
What ship design alterations were useful for Atlantic in comparison to Mediterranean?
I believe higher hull walls were part of it.
A curvier shape rather than the box like design of the triremes. Also better sails and more of them.
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...
Very much recommend for anyone interested to read Marius Mules for more on this. It is a historical fiction series written with the help of Caesar's Gallic Wars.
Waiting to see the complete map painting process of Gaul by Julius in the Gallic Campaign series.
I was hoping to see a video of battle of alesia
Last time I was this early Caesar had invaded Britain
Ok. Last time I was this late. Ceaser was getting stabbed.
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.
You made a little mistake: you use the flag of adriatic veneti for the veneti of gaul
Anyway interresting video
great video! what is the music at the end called, please?
facts ive been looking everywhere and i cant find it.
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,
"Ambition"
Marc Antony: You keep using that word. I do not think it means what you think it means.
Hello Kings and Generals, can you make a video on the battle of Hattin please
Thank you
Go to the channel 'history marche' they have it there. Pretty nice documentary on before and after that battle
@@welatxwese8074 thanks
Can anyone tell what's the name of the music that is in the background at 11:48? It's so epic.
So good
Thanks!
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.
Please, make a video about celtiberian wars! Julius Caesar conquered Gaul in less than 9 years (?) It took them 200 years to conquer the Iberian Penninsula (Spain and Portugal)
