Featured Article: Gallic Wars
The Gallic Wars were waged between 58 and 50 B.C.E. by the Roman general Julius Caesar against the peoples of Gaul (present-day France, Belgium, Germany and Switzerland). Gallic, Germanic, and Brittonic tribes fought to defend their homelands against the Roman campaign. The Wars culminated in the decisive Battle of Alesia in 52 B.C.E., in which a complete Roman victory resulted in the expansion of the Roman Republic over the whole of Gaul.

Used in a particular sense the word sea denotes sections of water, such as the Mediterranean Sea, as well as certain large, entirely landlocked, saltwater lakes, such as the Caspian Sea. The sea moderates Earth's climate and has important roles in the water, carbon, and nitrogen cycles.
