Julius Caesar took power by waging a civil war against the forces of the senate and winning it. He had raised seven legions to conquer Gaul. He was ordered to disband his legion and go to Rome to face a trial. The senate wanted his political demise. Caesar famously crossed the River Rubicon (the border of Italy) with just one legion, said "Let the die be cast" and marched on Rome. Pompey, the leader of the senatorial troops fled to Greece. Caesar reached Rome and then made a forced march to Spain, and defeated senatorial legions there. He then defeated Pompey and the troops he had raised in the eastern part of the empire in a battle in Greece. Some of his military commanders defeated other forces in Tunisia. The final battle was in Spain.

He is concerned for the welfare of his country. After taking part in Caesar's assassination, Brutus argues to the crowd that committed murder out of love for his country, and made them believe that if Caesar were still alive, they would all be slaves, whereas now that Caesar is dead, they can have freedom. He claimed that even though he loved Caesar, he loved Rome more. Brutus really believes this, and therefore he agrees to take part in Caesar's assassination. His fear of Caesar's power is part of what moves him to betray his best friend.

How did the feelings and actions of Brutus lead to the tragedy of Julius Caesar?
Brutus was among a group of Roman senators that believed Julius Caesar had too much power. Brutus felt that any hope of returning Rome back into some form of a republic would be lost if Caesar was allowed to continue on the path he was following. Brutus believed that Julius Caesar wanted to become the king of the Roman empire. Brutus became a secret enemy of Caesar. He certainly had fear of his own life as Caesar had dictatorial powers and could use them against any internal Roman foe. Based on this Brutus conspired to assassinate Julius Caesar. The deed was accomplished in the Senate chambers and Brutus was among those who stabbed Caesar to death, thus the tragedy of Caesar and the lament of Caesar's friends.
