BCE 55 - Roman leader Julius Caesar invades Britain

BCE 55 - Roman leader Julius Caesar invades Britain

In 55 BCE, Julius Caesar, the Roman leader, and his army invaded Britain.

Caesar and his men sailed across the English Channel in two separate invasions.

The first invasion in 55 BCE failed due to bad weather, and the Romans were forced to retreat.

Caesar returned the following year with a larger force and was able to gain a foothold on the southern coast.

The Romans founded a settlement in Kent, which became known as Colchester.

The native Britons resisted the invasion, but were no match for the Roman forces and were defeated.

The Romans proceeded to conquer much of Britain and established the Roman province of Britannia.
