The Roman Empire. Or Republic. Or...Which Was It?: Crash Course World History #10

The Mongols Shirt is available for pre-order now! http://dft.ba/mongols

In which John Green explores exactly when Rome went from being the Roman Republic to the Roman Empire. Here's a hint: it had something to do with Julius Caesar, but maybe less than you think. Find out how Caesar came to rule the empire, what led to him getting stabbed 23 times on the floor of the senate, and what happened in the scramble for power after his assassination. John covers Rome's transition from city-state to dominant force in the Mediterranean in less than 12 minutes. Well, Rome's expansion took hundreds of years, he just explains it in under 12 minutes. The senate, the people, Rome, the caesarian section, the Julian calendar and our old friend Pompey all make appearances, but NOT the Caesar Salad, as Julius had nothing to do with it.

It is not in Russian. In fact it is in Ukrainian :) Really weird to see the page from my history schoolbook in John Green's lesson (I'm originally from Ukraine)
