What role does the conflict between the Gauls and Romans play in defining the beginnings of French civilization? Imagine you were French, which side do you or would you identify with more: the Gauls led by Vercingétorix or the Romans under the command of Julius Caesar?

The conflict between Romans and Gauls led to the foundation of the Gallic wars. In these wars, the people of the Gaul, which consisted of present-day France, Belgium, and Germany, fought against the invading Roman forces under their expansionary program. The war served as a reminder of the undying spirit of the French, who cherished their values of liberty, freedom, and other aspects. Imagining that I was involved in the Gallic war, I would side with Gauls led by Vercingetorix since I value my fundamentals, principles, and part of freedom which are the most basic rights and greatly cherished in French culture.
