Peasants were being pushed off their farms by rich landowners (who were patricians) who expanded their estates using slave labour. They migrated to Rome and lived in abject poverty due to a scarcity of work. They often had to rely on hand-outs by the by the rich by becoming their clients. The brothers tried to address this poverty by redistributing land to the displaced peasants. The senate (which represented the patricians) disrupted the passage of the law, but was voted on and approved. Some senators hired thugs who clubbed Tiberius and some 300 of his supporters to death. Gaius Gracchus (Tiberius' brother) was elected as a plebeian tribune in 123 B.C. He revived his brother's land reform and passed a bill which gave the urban poor a dole of subsidised grain. He opposed the power of the senators. He sought support from equestrians a class of rich people which had not acceded to the senate. He wanted to give them control over a court that tried senators for misconduct in administration in the Roman provinces by replacing the senators who sat in this court. He also wanted to improve the citizenship rights to the Italian allies of Rome. However, this was opposed by a large number of plebeians who saw it as a threat to the privileges Roman citizenship gave them and turned against him. His popular support weakened and the consul Lucius Opimius attacked his supporters and 3,000 of them died in the fighting or were executed afterwards. Gaius fled and was pursued. He committed suicide before he was caught.

The French significantly impacted the outcome of the American Revolutionary War by providing crucial military and financial support to the American colonies. Their involvement, highlighted by the Treaty of Alliance in 1778, included sending troops, naval support, and supplies, which bolstered the colonial forces. The French played a pivotal role in key victories, particularly at the Siege of Yorktown, where their fleet prevented British reinforcements from arriving. Ultimately, this support was instrumental in securing American independence from British rule.

Tiberius Julius Caesar Augustus, Emperor of Rome, was killed because he was a bloodthirsty tyrant, a serial sadistic pedophile, and had ordered the execution of several high ranking and popular Roman citizens. Gaius Gracchus was killed by the Roman Senate because of a series of reforms he instituted that cost several wealthy families money and political power, which led to a minor civil war.

They were 2 brothers from Rome who sided with the Plebians in the escallating Plebian vs. Patrician conflict. They were sons of Cornelia who was the daughter of Scipio Africanus. Tiberius Gracchus became tribune of Rome in 133 BCE and tried in many ways, some illegally, to help the common and poor people. He eventually passed a bill returning public lands to the state for distribution which was vetoed by another tribune. He illegally passed a bill kicking that tribune from office while illegally running for reelection and then passed his land bill again. This sparked a riot in which he was stripped to his underwear, beaten to death with a broken stool, decapitated, and thrown in the Tiber. His brother met a similar fate after being elected tribune in 123 BCE.
