French And Indian War

During the early part of the eighteenth century the North American region (also known as the trans-Appalachian region) was untouched and undiscovered until Frenchman from Canada and Englishmen from the surrounding British colonies traveled through and discovered the woods and the great rivers.

Julius Caesar (100 BC – 44 BC)

Julius Caesar (full name Gaius Julius Caesar) was one of the most popular and most influential leaders in Rome. He was a great military leader who was able to transform the Roman Republic into the Roman Empire.
When Caesar was born the senators ruled the Roman Republic. They were a corrupt group that made their rulings based on their greed to have more power and their hope that one day they would become the praetor or consul. These two positions would give them the ability to command an army.
