    Julius was loved by so many people that his death had caused a civil war. However, by making himself dictator made a lot of people angry, for example the group of people that had assassinated Julius. “The conspiracy failed to achieve its desired goal, and rather than restoring the republic, the assassination of Caesar triggered a civil war.” It shows that Brutus really wanted to be apart of the assassination because he had wanted Rome to be restored, but instead of making things better, all he did was start a civil war that essentially was made a very significant constitutional transformation throughout Rome. Brutus and Caesar had made Caesar trust him and believe that he could be his friend but he had proved him wrong in the actions he took by siding with Cassius and betraying Caesar once again.
