What effects...Positive and Negative...did Caesar have on the Celts?

The Celts is a broad term for many different tribes. The people of Gaul were a mix of Celtic (Gallic), Celto-Germanic (the Belgians) and Germanic. There were even Celts living in Northern Italy who were part of Rome.

Positive:

1. For the southern Gauls who traded with and were allied to Rome (Aedui), Caesar was essentially an ally who helped save them from rival tribes (Helvetii) who threatened to steal their lands and take over. He also defeated the invading Germans in his second campaign. This was all at the expense of being subject to Caesar, however.

2. He put an end to human sacrifice. This was still a common practice of the Celts of Caesar's day. People tend to forget how dark some of the Celtic religious beliefs were.

3. Most of the Gauls were granted either citizenship or a preliminary privilege called the Latin Rights. Meaning they had the rights of Roman citizens.

Negative

1. All of these pros came with the expense of incredible loss of life. The Celts are famous for being disorganized. After Caesar defeated the Germans, the Belgians united hoping to be rid of Rome as well. From that point on Caesar decided to conquer all of Gaul. While a million deaths is an exaggeration, hundreds of thousands who fought against him were killed or sold into slavery as Caesar made his way through Gaul.

2. "The loss of Celtic culture" I put this in quotes because this is somewhat overstated and indirect. While it is true Gaul became much more latinized with Caesar, the real death-blow to Celtic culture in Gaul (and Britain) came with advent of Christianity and then the later barbarian invasions of the Franks and others. But the process could be said to have started with Caesar.

It is not a pro or a con, but had Caesar been defeated, modern Europe would be a vastly different place.
