He did not have to defeat anyone to become a general. The Senate appointed him to lead an army into Gaul, and he remained at the head of his army all through the civil war.

How was Caesar challenged?

During Caesar's Civil War (49-45 BC) Pompey the Great led the forces of the senate against Caesar. Feeling that his forces could not stand up to the veterans of Caesar's Gallic Wars, he fled to Brundisium (modern Brindisi) a port in southern Italy which was used to sail to Greece and the eastern Mediterranean. When Caesar pursued him there, he fled to Greece to levy more troops there.

From Brundisium, Caesar headed for Spain which he reached in an astonishingly fast march (he took only 27 days). There he defeated senatorial armies led by Lucius Afranius (Afranius) and Marcus Petreius (Petreius) at the Battle of Ilerda (June 49 BC). Caesar sent his general Gaius Scribonius Curio to confront Publius Attius Varus and King Juba I of Numidia whom he defeated at the Battle of the Bagradas River (August 49 BC).

Caesar returned to Rome, levied a new army and headed to Albania to confront Pompey. Pompey, whose forces outnumbered Caesars', nearly routed Caesar and forced him to retreat at the Battle of Dyrrachium in Albania (July 48 BC). However, Caesar defeated Pompey at the Battle of Pharsalus in Greece (August 48 BC). Pompey fled to Alexandria (Egypt). King Ptolemy XIII of Egypt had Pompey killed and presented his head to Caesar when he reached Alexandria.

Caesar was disgusted and sided with his sister, wife and co-rules, Queen Cleopatra VII. He got caught in a local civil war and was besieged by Cleopatra's younger sister, Arsinoe IV (late 48 BC-early 47 BC) but was relieved by the arrival of the troops of Mithridates I the king of Pergamon, in western Turkey, and Antipater I, king of Judaea . Caesar then went to northeast Turkey to deal Pharmaces II who had usurped the throne of Pontus, a Roman client state. Caesar defeated Pharmaces II at the bettle of Zela (August 47 BC). This is where Caesar said his most famous sentence: "I came, I saw, I conquered."

Next Caesar had to confront forces loyal to the senate in Tunisia. He defeated Titus Labienus at the Battle of Ruspina (January 46 BC) and Quintus Caecillius Metellus Scipio and king Juba of Numidia at the Battle of Thapsus (April, 46 BC). Caesar then headed to Utica where Cato the Younger was garrisoned. Cato committed suicide. Tunisia was pacified and Caesar returned to Rome in July.

Filially, Caesar headed for Spain to confront the forces of the sons of Pompey, Gnaeus Pompeius and Sextus Pompeius, and Titus Labienus, who had fled there after his defeat in Tunisia. Caesar won the final battle of the civil war, the Battle of Munda in March 45 BC

How does Anthony show the crowd that Brutus is not trustworthy?

Actually, Brutus is a much more trustworthy person than Antony, as their behaviour throughout the play shows. But Antony wants, for his own personal purposes, to discredit Brutus. He does this with sarcasm, calling Brutus an "honourable man" in sarcastic fashion. And he alludes to the fact that Brutus and Caesar were great friends: "Brutus, as you know, was Caesar's angel". Brutus has already given his explanation of this in saying it was not that he loved Caesar less but that he loved Rome more, and Antony is trying to break this down by getting the crowd into a state of unthinking emotional reaction. This is always a good way to get crowds to do insane things, especially in a Shakespeare play, but also in real life.

What date did Julius Caesar start the Roman Empire?

He didn't. In its early days Rome was a typical city-state and had a territory of about 50 square miles. Its population of largely peasant farmers had small plots which could not bear subdivision amongs multiple sons, so expansion was required. Neighbouring cities were in the same predicament. So after the harvest was brought in and the the sacrifices made, each consul raised a legion, and these either defended their land from predators or captured adjacent land. As successful land pirates, they expanded into neighbouring territories, and over three centuries gained dominance over peninsular Italy and the islands. After defeating Carthage, both in Africa and Spain by the end of the third century BCE, they extended their influence there, and set out to teach Philp of Macedonia a lesson for siding with Carthage. This gave them influence in mainland Greece, and then they moved on to the post-Alexander Macedonian kingdoms of Asia Minor and Syria, with Pompey taking Jerusalem. By Julius' time, Rome was in complete control of Italy, with provinces scattered around the entire Mediterranean and tributary kingdoms further inland. Julius went on to consolidate Gaul, had a look at Britain and hated its weather, and was preparing to do in the Parthian empire when done in by his protegee Brutus and other conspirators. However the Roman Empire was long in place before he was born. Look for a long list of conquerors, with names like Scipio, Paulus, Sulla.

What did Julius Caesar want from France?

What might Shakespeare be suggesting through his portrayal of the crowd of roman citizens in Act 3 in Julius Ceasar?

Mobs are fickle and dangerous, especially if they are ignorant. Shakespeare paints an equally unattractive picture of mobs in Henry VI Part 2 with the Jack Cade rebellion. The scene where the mob kills Cinna the poet because he has the same name as one of the conspirators mirrors the scene in Henry VI Part 2 where Cade's followers kill the Clerk of Chatham for no other reason than that he can read.

Who comes to break up Brutus and Cassius argument?

In Act IV Scene 3 of Julius Caesar, a Poet enters to break up the argument between Brutus and Cassius, which is pointless because they have reconciled themselves without his help. Since the Poet has three short lines, and the scene accomplishes nothing, a lot of directors would simply cut his part and move on to Lucilius and Titinius.

What happened to the republican government of rome when Julius Caesar took control?

It might be wrong but,

The government changed when Julius Caesar became dictator. People in the Senate thought he would change the Roman religion so the legends say that a friend told him not to go to the Senate that day and beware the Ides of March (March 15). Julius ignored this comment and went to the Senate, when he got there, he was stabbed to death by senators. The senators thought that they saved Rome from dictatorship.
