Julius Caesar had become one of the most powerful men in Rome by the year 51 BCE.
Crassus died and Caesar discovered that the Roman Senate wanted him to give up his armies fighting in France Caesar had a choice  either give up or fight back. He chose to fight so  Julius Caesar began a civil war  in Rome by defeating other members of the Triumvirate to become the dictator with total power he  fought Pompey another Roman general and defeated him.

Triumvirate means (in ancient Rome) a group of three men holding power, in particular ( the First Triumvirate ) the unofficial coalition of Julius Caesar, Pompey, and Crassus in 60 BC and ( the Second Triumvirate ) a coalition formed by Antony, Lepidus, and Octavian in 43 BC.

The first Punic war took place in roughly in 264-241 BC and it was a battle between the Roman Republic and the Carthaginian. The battle was over control of the two islands of  Corsica and Sicily.

The Reason I chose this war because it was a very important war for Rome to take control of two very important islands but it meant losing a ally.
