@Leif H The Earth can typically recover the damage done to the ozone by its own geological rumblings. We however, are pumping far too much into the atmosphere and are punching holes in the ozone, allowing heat to get trapped at a far higher rate. This is what anyone means when they say we're 'causing global warming'. What they mean is we're accelerating and intensifying it.

Some people assume because Earth naturally produces a lot of CO2 that no amount of CO2 can ever possibly be too much and we can spew as much CO2 and other greenhouse gases with 0 repercussions whatsoever. When you say it like that, it really makes them sound very silly to think that they can do as they please with no repercussions to their actions, but that's not even the half of it. So, they say nature will take care of it? Well, have you forgotten that humans have been eroding nature away with cities, and that humans deforest constantly? What about the Amazon rainforest which is also actively being deforested? So we can apparently just deforest the world, uproot much of the vegetation and turn it into concrete, we can fuck the oceans by dumping our sewage and pollutants in the rivers, streams, lakes, and oceans along with other general trash, we can burn as much fossil fuel and emit as much CO2 as we want, and the "nature" that we've been destroying will take care of it.... Yeahh... hard to say "nature took care of it before, nature will take care of it again" when you've reduced nature by (just giving an arbitrary number) over half, while adding more of the pollutants to the air in addition to that.

Exactly. Every single battle has a winner and a loser and so many factors are at play. Even the greatest Generals have been in near death situations due to their own folly of just nature of battle. It's how life works. Historia Civils last video on Alexander the Greats first campaigns in his first battle as leader he was stabbed by a spear in the back of the head and fell unconscious via concussion. Caesar admitted to being very lucky. The Parthians that killed Marcus Crassus had no idea they were just about to destroy a 40'00 strong army with only 10'00 archers. So many things can affect a battle. Vercinjetorixs mistake it looks like was climbing the hill and allowing himself to get surrounded. But it's been over 2000 years it's easy to claim it was a mistake but while it was happening there could have been so many factors at play and going into your base would have been the best bet. Maybe they feared Caesar had hidden reinforcements. Infact id say the mistake was the fault of whoever decided to build their fortress keep on a big hill with hard access to resupply. And that could have happened 100 years before Vercingetorix even inherited it. Some Gaulic generals lost battles because their fellow Aristocratic Gaulic Elites fighting along side the Gaulic King in question refused to fight unless the king dismounted his horse and fight on foot too. To maintain equality. But doing so robbed the King of his ability to command and pay orders and navigate the war and battles of entire wars were lost of this mistake and had subsequent genocides happen to the losing sides. Not in this particular war but in Roman/Gaul history in general. Vercingetorix was a badass though. Him and Decabaleus from the future. Who's name translates to "The Strength of Ten Men" who was a very savvy operator that gave the best Roman Emperor, Trajan, a difficult time and his predecessors hell. Decabelus would ask the Romans for money to defend his client kingdom against invaders and when the Romans paid he would use the funds to build walls on the Roman side of his border. To make it harder for Romans to invade. And many Romans died trying to climb those walls paid for with Roman money by the time Trajan came about.

The fact that a major part of Roman-era warfare was “build stuff in about a day” will never stop being amazing to me. The fact that Caesar mobilized all but two of his legions, marched for a day, and got to his destination by evening is crazy. Even more crazy is the fact that the Gauls built a 6-foot stone wall in about 24 hours

Pompey: in the name of the (galactic) you are under arrest. The Senate will decide your fate. Caesar:I am the Senate! Pompey: not yet. Caesar it's treason then Roman Civil war begins Brutus leaves after the loss in Greece to Italy and later on Pompey, Cato and Scipio were dead by assassination or suicide etc. And then Brutus as close to Caesar had managed to assassinate him....

24:45 personally my favourite depiction of him is in the series Asterix. There's a panel of him surrendering literally throwing his weapons down at Caeser's, causing Caeser to yelp in pain. It represents the situation in a nutshell. While Caeser had bested the Gaul, Vercingetorix made sure the war was as painful as possible for Caeser.

Wow that's sad.

It's rare for me to actually pick sides in history, but every time I hear this story, I always hope it has a different ending.. The Gauls were really running out of choices. Caesar was clearly going to annex their homeland, and he'd already shown how brutal and vicious he'd been in the role of foreign oppressor. This was their last chance at freedom for their people, and fighting for that small opportunity is still a meaningful act, even though they lost. For the few reasons that actually deciding to engage in war is worthwhile, this is one (although I'd argue that exhausting all other options to prevent the situation comes first). Vercingetorix deserves to be remembered just as much as Ceaser - in my rather irrelevant opinion. After this, his entire people would be assimilated by Rome (minus those sold into slavery, of course), their culture and society washed away to be replaced by Roman values, living a Roman lifestyle in Roman towns and cities, under the supervision of the Roman military. I'm glad French patriotism found Vercingetorix, and the Gauls have not been forgotten.

@Pao234_

Жыл бұрын

Every culture is entitled to fight for its survival, that's fair, and they're also entitled to fight others for their own interests if they seem it fit. Sadly for the Gauls, the Romans were interested in the Gaulish lands, and the Gauls couldn't defend them well enough, Rome was too superior a match. And that's how it has happened from much before Caesar and much after him, such as in the Fall of Rome (As much as i love Rome, the Empire had made some serious mistakes while the Germanic tribes hadn't, and they took fair advantage from it). Well, throughout history, thousands of cultures/peoples have been absorbed or assimilated this way. The Celts in general weren't too different, they were huge expansionists and at one point went as far as Greece (where they were defeated after a few years), and later went into Anatolia, where they settled (obviously displacing other peoples that were there before). So what i mean, is that in the race for technology and development, those tribes/nations that acquired an advantage over their neighbors, had the right to use them to conquer and expand, that way spreading the mindset that lead to such developments. To the detriment of the conquered's own way of life, humanity found a way to select for the strongest and most efficient cultures (Be it through collaboration, military might, demographics, etc).

Perhaps, and maybe he was also crossing just a sliver of the Alps instead of the entire length of it.Still, it certainly is impressive that Caesar got his force to move that quickly through such difficult terrain. Quite a bit of Caesar's military success can be attributed to his ability to respond to new threats and information extremely quickly, sometimes even catching his enemies off guard.That reminds me of another great Roman leader Basil II, whose force was so ridiculously mobile (each man had a mount for both himself and his equipment) that sources say they traveled at lighting speed, and much like Caesar surprised enemies with their rapid responses, gaining many victories in the process.

22:25 interesting historical detail. Another Roman conqueror, Emperor Nicephorus II Phocas, would use a tactic much like this as his go-to strategy for defeating the Emirate of Aleppo, the main Eastern foe of the Roman (Byzantine) Empire in the early-to-mid 10th century. His infantry marched in a square formation, and their main task was to withstand Cavalry charges, while their own Cavalry were expected to actually do most of the fighting. If needed, those Cavalry units could fall back to the infantry square to regroup. Eric Mcgeer's book _"Sowing the Dragon's teeth"_ is really good for this

They constructed mobile wooden defenses, basically think of a wooden fence made from planks on supports, about 2, 2.5 meters high, that they moved up as the ramp was being constructed. defenders would then try to set these defenses on fire, by pouring tar or oil on them and igniting it. It was a constant battle to construct/deconstruct these defenses as they were critical to getting the ramp up.

Genocide was the modus operandi of war for most of the time for most of the world. Most great conquerors of history would qualify as genocidal maniacs by today's standards. I don't think Historia Civilis means to say that Caesar was particularly evil by historical standards. He was just much more effective at it because he was a) a genius and b) in charge of the most efficient war machine of his time, the roman army.
