Conquest of Gaul
As the campaign year of 56 BC opened, Caesar found that Gaul still wasn?t quite ready for Roman occupation. In his own words: ?he reflected that almost all the Gauls were fond of revolution, and easily and quickly excited to war; that all men likewise, by nature, love liberty and hate the condition of slavery, he thought he ought to divide and more widely distribute his army, before more states should join the confederation.?
