Julius Caesar wanted to make new conquests with is army. Caesar also was deeply in debt. By conquering Gaul, Caesar was not only able to pay off his debts, but became a very wealthy man from his share of the loot. Gaul is approximately where modern day France is located.

It is generally assumed that Caesar wanted to conquer Gaul for the political prestige which came with the glory of victory and to raise money to repay his debts through the spoils of war. He fought what historians have called Caesar's civil war against the forces of the senate because the senate wanted to end his political career and prosecute him.

How Did Julius Caesar Rule Come To An End?

Julius Caesar defeated Pompey the Great (Gnaeus Pompeius Magnus) and his lieutenants in the Civil War, who led the Senatorial forces. He then was appointed Dictator--but never actually considered Emperor in his lifetime. It was his adopted son, Augustus (Octavian, Gaius Julius Caesar Augustus) who became the first Emperor by gradually accumulating and holding offices that gave him the appearance of power to go along with his actual power (from control of the treasury and army). He had defeated Mark Antony and Cleopatra (at Actium, 31 BCE) to gain undisputed control of the Roman World.
