Julius Caesar was a great military general who, after having been removed from his governorship of Gaul by the Roman senate, staged a coup and took control of Rome by force, the person with whom he was once aligned to take control of the empire. Although he is often portrayed as a tyrannical dictator, Julius Caesar was somewhat of a champion of the people. He eliminated the heavy taxes levied on farmers and granted any Roman citizen with three or more sons land. He also made the dealings of the Roman senate public by posting an account of them for the public to read and realigned the Roman calendar to coincide with the seasons. He also declared himself ruler for life.

Since his lineage could be traced to the founding of Rome, the role of the Caesars came to be associated with the role of the gods, who had more power than senators in the eyes of Romans. All of these actions infuriated the senate, which felt that he had compromised its power. This ultimately led to the senate attack on Julius Caesar that killed him.

Deffense [45]

The correct answer is - D. Western Europe.

During the Middle Ages, also known as the Dark Ages, Western Europe was stagnating in the scientific department. This is due to the rule of the church. The church was forbidding pretty much all scientific activities, and they were marked as Satan's work, witchcraft, sins, etc. Lots of the scientists of this period were either imprisoned and tortured or killed, very often in very gruesome ways. So Western Europe started to get back on track with the science and progress only after the church started to lose its influence and power.
