put these events in order from earliest to latest punic wars, Rome invaded by the Etruscans, julius Caesar becomes dictator for life, Rome becomes a republic,

Answer 1

The Etrsucans ruled over Rome for hundreds of years. Then in approximately 508/509 BCE, Romans began the war against the Etruscans and eventually overthrew them. At that point Rome established a republic. That means, the Roman people formed a government in which citizens elected representatives to rule on their behalf. The U.S. government was based in-part on the Roman Republic model. Next, came many wars with various neighboring peoples, as Rome expanded its reach and sphere of influence. This included the Punic Wars (from approximately 264 - 146 BC). Eventually, Juluis Caesar, a popular and talented political figure and military leader, crossed the Rubicon and took control of the Roman government, becoming a dictator (from somewhere between 60 BC and 44 BC) for life until he was assassinated by a conspiracy of senators in 44 BC. Eventually, Augustus, Caesar's nephew and heir worked with Marc Antony to kill Caesar's old enemies. Augustus divided the winning lands obtained giving himself Rome and Antony Egypt. But, fearing that Anton and Queen Cleopatra of Egypt (who fell in love with each other) would try to take over Rome for themselves, Augustus attacked. Augustus won. He was a Roman hero, and so in approximately 31 BC, he became the first emperor of the new Roman Empire (encompassing both Rome territories and the now-conquered Egyptian territories).
