When did Julius Caesar come to Britain with an army?
Julius Caesar came to Britain twice with an army. The first time was on the 26th August 55 BC, but he had to leave when bad weather stopped reinforcements from making the crossing of the Channel and damaged some of the ships he arrived in. The second time was on the 7th July 54 BC, he was more successful this time, but still had to deal with bad weather destroying over 40 of the ships. Revolts in Gaul, forced Caesar and his legions to leave Britain in September 54 BC, and 97 years were to pass before the Romans returned.

Why did the Gallipoli landing go wrong?
Firstly the naval attack was a huge disaster. The Allied Forces ships sailed right into a minefield killing many men and sinking three ships (Bouvet,Irresistable and Ocean). The Turks were low on ammunition but instead of attacking the Allied ships withdrew fearing more casualties.Then they had to resort to an amphibious assault. The entire operation went wrong. Instead of landing at a place near the mainland with easy beaches and no defenses, they ended up at the end on the cliffs where the Turks were dug in and able to fight.Instead of minimal casalties from trapping the enemy on the tip of the peninsula and forcing them to surrender, they were massacred trying to get up steep cliffs through barbed wire and minefileds, while being shelled and machine-gunned.
Can you tell me About Julius Caesar invading Britain in 55BC?
There are a number of reasons why Caesar invaded Britain:Britain was helping the French (then known as the Gauls) fight against the Romans. Invading Britain as part of his Gallic War campaign helped ease the Gaul rebellions.Britain harboured Gaul leaders and Gaul fugitives, protecting them from the Romans. Invading Britain was one way of getting to them.Nobody from as far as Rome had conquered Britain before. Caesar wanted to be remembered in history, so he invaded Britain. To the Romans, reaching Britain was like the Americans reaching the moon.He heard Britain was rich in pearls and tin, which he wanted, as Rome could use them for crafting or trading.Britain is a very large island with very high coastlines. This made it extremely defensive and hard to invade, which is why Caesar wanted it, as it would be an impenetrable state for the Western Roman Empire.Also, Britain being a large island, meant it can produce a very effective defensive and offensive navy, something Caesar wanted for his empire.
