Why Is Julius Caesar Unjustified

Have you ever thought about an assassination and why it occurred? Many people have been assainated for a number of reasons.Sometimes these assainations can be unjust and wrongful.One famous assaination was Julius Ceasar.Julius Casear was born July 12 ,100 BCE in Rome ,Italy.His parents were far from rich. He married Cornelia the daughter of Sulla a Roman general. Caesar went into the military to get away from Sulla because he wanted him to divorce his wife or give up his land.He soon returned after the death of Sulla.After returning from the military he began his career in politics.He was said to have one of the greatest intellects on military leadership in history. When he returned he started his military and political career. Julius Caesar assassination was unjustified because he was a great military leader who solved many economic problems; although people may argue he had too much power.

Julius Caesar was a great military leader.He lead Rome to many victories.“He used it to change the world driven

by his love for Rome and his lust for domination”(Strauss 4). This aspect about Caesar made him the leader he was.During his lifetime Caesar had saw two civil wars tear Rome down.He expanded the Roman Republic with series of battles across Europe.He accomplished many achievements such as wars, people conquered and battles. Caesar had skills when leading his military which helped with his leadership of Rome .His battles resulted in the killing of many people to conquer their land.Over Caesar’s lifetime, his love for his country lead to the accomplishment of being a hero in Rome.
Rome had many problems dealing with the poor common people.Caesar had lots of experience with them and they loved him.

“Caesar belonged to the populares,the common people’s faction”(Carlson). He helped them get some of their power back.Over the years, Pompey and Caesar gained a political partnership.Caesar was financially supported by Crassus.These three men made up the first triumvirate Pompey, Crassus, and Julius Caesar. This gave Caesar the push he needed for domination. “Julius Caesar won a major triumph over the forces of Pompey the Great at Pharsalus”(Carlson).Caesar hires Pompey’s soldiers to cause a riot and after this situation is later given the governorship of Gaul. Over the years Pompey, Crassus and Caesar grew apart because of Caesar’s growing power.Crassus died in a battle years later.This resulted in Pompey going back to his old ways toward Caesar.They fought but Caesar's military was to skilled.Caesar became dictator for life in

Rome.
Some people may argue,Caesar had too much power. Caesar had plenty of experience with Rome and its people.He was unlike by senators since he was trying to restore the Republic.“The senatorial were intent upon restoring republican liberties….”(Strauss 21).Caesar wanted to put the power back where it belonged .Caesar was giving the chance to be king.“The people give this to you through me ......stunned crowd stood silent,Caesar removed it”(Getlen).Caesar rejected the crown.In Caesar’s head somebody had already won that crown “Jupiter alone of the Romans is king”(Getlen).Caesar was said to have been one of the most prevailing people in Rome.
These points show that Caesar’s assassination was unjust because he did a lot of good for Rome. He was assassinated because of jealous people who couldn't deal with losing power.He was a hero to the people in Rome. He was killed by people he trusted.Before the meeting with the senate his wife begged him not to go.The senate was giving Caesar an honor so he couldn't just not show.He was told it would be rude not to show.The senate knows that Caesar will be leaving Rome for a military trip and he won't be back for some years. He was accompanied by Mark Anthony, his closest friend. The leader of the mob that killed Caesar was Gaius Brutus. He was stabbed 17 times and killed by a blow to his kidney. Rome as a whole was very unhappy about the killing of Caesar.The assassination of Caesar was caused by the fear of one person having too much power.
