I was wondering how could the Romans manage to defeat and subjugate the Gauls but never did the same with the Germans. Essentially they are very similar people with pretty much the same battle technique etc. I know the Romans struggled early on its early days with the Gauls but later on they swept through it rather quickly. Was the difference the generals? No other general really reached the ability of Julius Ceaser. Just wondering why the Roman techniques were so effective versus Gauls but they couldn't handle the German onslaught.
