Julius Caesar conquered the remainder of Gaul during his military campaigns known as the Gallic Wars, which took place from 58 to 50 BCE.123
While Rome had already established control over a southern region known as the "Province" (Provincia) in 121 BCE, the rest of the territory was seized by Caesar over this eight-year period. A significant turning point in the conflict occurred in 52 BCE, when Caesar defeated the Gallic chieftain Vercingetorix at the siege of Alesia, effectively breaking major Gallic resistance.2314
