## In "unbiased History"

### "Julius Caesar"

After driving away a Gallic army that was approaching the city of Narbos, Caesar disguised himself to infiltrate the enemy ranks and discovered that everything was orchestrated by Vercigetorix in a united Gallic uprising.

Vercingetorix and Caesar fought 3 times: the first in the siege of Avaricum, where the legions had to build several ramps to pass the city walls, it was difficult because it was raining, the ground was muddy, they were starving and very stressful. But despite these inconveniences, they managed to pass over the walls and massacre the population and no one can say that it was not justified.

The second was in Gernovia (the city in which the gallic leader was at that time), which was difficult or impossible to take because the Gallic allies of the Romans did not stop changing sides.

After being persecuted, the final battle was in Alesia where the Romans instead of taking the city, enclosed it with wooden walls and when the Gallic reinforcements arrived, Caesar ordered other walls to prevent them from coming to the aid of the so-called "king of the Gauls."

He tried everything to get out, like sending the cavalry to break through the Roman defenses (which were exterminated by Caesar), throwing all of his warriors to one point at the same time (only to be stopped by Marcus Antonius) and attacking all addresses and managed to open an entrance in the walls, only to be greeted by a testudo formation on one side and Caesar's Germanic cavalry on the other. At the end of the battle, the army outside the walls was annihilated and Vercingetorix surrendered the next day.

Years later the survivors mounted a revolt in the city of Uxellodunum, despite the fact that initially he was going to forgive them for their aggression, upon discovering that they were members of the Senone tribe (the tribe of Brennus and the one that sacked Rome in its first years as a republic) had no mercy and ordered that all men be cut off their hands and after that proclaimed Roman victory in Gaul and ended the war with many Gauls and other Celts killed or enslaved.

Several years after the victory in Gaul and the end of the civil war, Cesar celebrated 4 triumphs and the first commemorated the aforementioned victory, where Vercingetorix was hanged as part of the show.

## "Trivia"

* Something that is not mentioned about the Gallic wars is that in the final battle of Vercingetorix against the Romans, seeing that the siege of Alesia was causing havoc in the city due to the fact that they could not obtain resources from outside, he decided that it was better to remove the civilians of the city so that they would not suffer or end the resources and hoping that Julius Caesar would allow them to leave the area. However, Julius Caesar did not allow it and the civilians starved to death and only a few weeks later the reinforcements would arrive.
* Despite having lost his war against the Romans and his crimes against civilization, modern France regards him as one of its national heroes.
