1. The Jugurthine War occurred in 112–106 BC, in the middle of Rome and Jugurtha of Numidia, a kingdom on the North African coast approximating to advanced Algeria. 2. Numidia was a Berber kingdom situated in North Africa not a long way from Rome's most despised enemy, Carthage. King Micipsa kicked the bucket in 118 BC. He was made due by two common sons, Adherbal and Hiempsal, and his embraced nephew, Jugurtha. It was Micipsa's wish that every one of the three would share his kingdom after his passing. 3. After King Micipsa's passing, Jugurtha ended up being a heartless and deceitful man who might do anything to accomplish what he needed, including homicide, renumeration, bad form, and death. Jugurtha learned Roman ways and military strategies while ordering the Numidian armed force under Scipio Aemilianus at the Siege of Numantia. 4. …show more content…
The Roman delegate Lucius Calpurnius Bestia drove an armed force against Jugurtha yet Jugurtha surrendered and was given unusually great terms. It creates the impression that Bestia was remunerated. So ideal were Jugurtha's terms of surrender that it prompted an examination in Rome. 5. The delegate Quintus Caecilius Metellus was sent to North Africa to overcome Jugurtha. For his endeavors Metellus was later given the title "Numidicus." Quintus Caecilius Metellus spoke the truth and capable as a leader however was purchasing time so as to augment his superbness when he did actually overcome them. His effective war arrangement was to annihilate Jugurtha's supply lines and this constrained Jugurtha to guerilla strategies. 6. When Gaius Marius touched base in Numidia, Jugurtha had united with his dad in-law, Bocchus, the King of Mauretania. Marius proceeded with Metellus' arrangement and won a few triumphs, however, much the same as the prior Fabian system, Jugurtha's strategies kept a Roman triumph. It soon got to be apparent that Rome couldn't vanquish Jugurtha through

Lastly, When Appius Claudius the consul had sustained a defeat at the hands of the
From 112 – 106 BC, a Numidian king called Jurgurtha was engaged in a war with Rome due to an attempt to seize power from his half-brother, Adherbal. The Romans arrived due to the request of Adherbal, and the potential of profit, a claim pressed by the equites, with the aim of dividing the country between the brothers, and Marius found himself under the command of Quintus Caecilius Metellus, who he was under patronage of. When Mettelus scornfully refused Marius’ request to return to be allowed to return to Rome in an attempt of gaining Consulship in 108, Marius intrigued to get the African command transferred upon himself by stating that “Mettelus was prolonging the war on purpose” (William G. Sinnigen, p. 131), after which Mettelus allowed him to return to Rome to gain the Consulship in 107.
An article called, “The Real War,” written by Roger J. Spiller, begins with a quote by Walt Whitman, “The real war will never get in the books.” The author writes about an interview with Paul Fussell, who was a soldier in World War Two and has written many books about World War One and World War Two. Fussell is very opinionated and critical about other books written about these wars, asserting they are not realistic or portray the true essence of what really occurred by soldiers and other people participating in the wars. I claim that it is impossible to convey the actual personal feelings and emotions of those involved in a war in books or any other forms of media.
Along with political change, Sulla’s reign led to instability, both socially and economically. Sulla’s first major appearance in Roman history can be considered as Marius’ quaestor during the campaign against Jugurtha in 107. He served under Marius in Africa and against tribes from Germany. Sulla served Marius well, despite his future claims of being solely responsible for orchestrating Jugurtha’s capture.

These changes could be felt long after the death of the Gracchi, which is evident in the powerful political armies of Marius and Sulla. In conclusion, The Gracchi were significant figures in Roman history for the short and long term consequences that resulted from their actions, acting as perceptive idealistic men who were concerned for the greater good of Rome at a time when it was atypical to do so.

February 15th, 1898, all is quiet in Havana Harbor. The crew of the USS Maine is sound asleep less a few solitary watchmen. The brackish sea air and the calm ocean breeze are soothing and peaceful. This would hardly suggest the terror about to erupt on this “peaceful” visit to the Spanish-controlled Cuban harbor. At 9:45PM, a violent explosion rips the Maine apart sending it plummeting down to the muddy sea floor and killing nearly all of her crew. All of the Spanish boats in the harbor rushed to the aid of the American vessel and its survivors: the commander, Captain Charles D. Sigsbee, and a few lucky crewmembers. Even though Captain Sigsbee, a favorite of the Naval Department, urged President McKinley not to react in an aggressive manner toward Spain, the media, namely New York newspaper editors Pulitzer and Hearst, already inflating current issues relating to the Cuban revolution, spin the incident out of control. The American public goes mad with suspicion of Spanish fowl play and the sinking of the USS Maine serves as the immediate catalyst to the Spanish-American war.

The Iroquois also noted that their style of warfare needed to change due to the Europeans. Daniel K Richter, author of War and Culture: The Iroquois Experience, wrote:
Julius Caesar was a strong leader of the Romans who changed the course of the history for the Roman world decisively and irreversibly. With his courage and strength, he created a strong empire and guided the empire for almost 20 years. His life was short, but had many adventures. I will tell of some of this man’s remarkable life. He did many things, therefore, I will only discuss a few. His name, part of his reign, one of his greatest battles, and his death will be told.
The book The Spartacus War by Barry Strauss is an in depth look at one of Roman history’s most legendary events, the gladiator revolt led by Spartacus. Spartacus has become a legend, creating a storyline that has inspired many movies and television shows, such as Stanley Kubrick’s epic Spartacus in 1960, starring the legendary Kirk Douglas. Spartacus has inspired a perfect mix of men over time with various backgrounds and beliefs, from Stalin and Marx, to Voltaire, and even to Ronald Reagan. How though, did Spartacus create a massive revolt of slaves that would create a massive problem for the mighty Rome? Strauss attempts to create a chronology of the Spartacus War using his vast knowledge of the Italian landscape, ancient documents, and archaeological evidence, as well as provide the reader with the historical reasons that might have created a perfect combination of causes to create the Spartacus legend.
