With victory at Alesia, Caesar conquered Gaul. Under the Romans, Gaul became latinised. This is the origin of France being a Latina country and the French speaking a romance language (a language derived from Latin. The only remnants of Celtic culture is in Brittany, and that comes from Celts who migrated form Cornwall, not from descendants of the Gauls.

Where did the Gauls come from before France?

Gaul was not a people but a territory (modern France, Belgium, the south Netherlands, western parts of Germany and northern Italy). It was inhabited by the Celts in the Iron Age. About 900BC, tribes of Celts advanced even westward. Britain also was inhabited by the Celts before the Roman rule. The area north of the Alps was occupied by the Romans (Julius Caesar - 58-51 BC - was called Transalpine Gaul, and remained under Roman rule until the 5th century AD.

Marc Antony lost to Augustus in a battle for control of Rome and then went to Egypt to be with Cleopatra?

The Battle of Actium. The official story is that Marc Antony saw Cleopatra's ship leaving the battle, so he abandoned his ship and chased after her, eventually reuniting with her in Egypt. Without them, their fleet was easily polished off by the Roman fleet, and the last significant resistance to Rome was thereby finished. Rome would become an empire, and Augustus would have it all. There is modern speculation that Cleopatra and Marc Antony had previously intended to run rather than fight this battle.


Is the requonquista the battle of tours?

No. The Battle of Tours came about 700 years before the Req. The BOT was fought b/w Ummayad forces influenced by Tariq Ibn Zaid and Charles of France, which blocked Muslims advances of North Europe. The Req. was when the Ummayad Saints demigod descendants of North Africa (a completely different people with a different outlook) were beat up and easily conquered by King Ferdinand and his Queen, Isabela. They took over the shrinking province of what is known today as a souther province of Andalusia. (Make Note, when Ziad and his forces took over Iberia, modern day Spain and Portugal they practically, peacefully and with the blessing of the Spanish who wanted the invader viking visigoths ousted, took over over 90% of the modern day country) and it was known as Al-Andalus. Today, however, Andalusia is the name of the southern state/province. The largest and the most populated.
