So many turning points in history when things might have turned out so very differently!at the time [Julius Caesar's rise] "Gaul" was basically a more Germanic country, and it was the Roman conquest, which created a "Franco-Gallic" culture, which in the end became a Latinate France. Had this not happened, France might now be "Germanic" or France and Germany might now be one country. And Rome might have turned eastward, or rather not have been pulled westward, and "western civilization" as we now know it might not exist.
