Choe Ryong-hae vs Julius Caesar

Choe Ryong-hae was appointed Vice Marshal of the Korean People's Army, one of the highest military ranks in North Korea. This appointment solidified his position as a top military and party official under Kim Jong-un.

Choe Ryong-hae was appointed Director of the General Political Bureau of the Korean People's Army, a key position responsible for political indoctrination and loyalty within the military.

Choe Ryong-hae was reportedly involved in the purge and execution of Jang Song-thaek, Kim Jong-un's uncle. He oversaw the investigation and trial, demonstrating his loyalty to Kim Jong-un.

Choe Ryong-hae was elected to the Presidium of the Politburo of the Workers' Party of Korea, the highest decision-making body in North Korea. This made him one of the top five leaders in the country.

Caesar, as proconsul of Gaul, launched a series of campaigns that conquered all of Gaul (modern France, Belgium, and parts of Switzerland). He fought numerous battles, including against the Helvetii, the Belgae, and the Gallic chieftain Vercingetorix. The wars brought immense wealth and a loyal army to Caesar.

Caesar led Legio XIII across the Rubicon River into Italy, defying the Roman Senate's order to disband his army. This act triggered a civil war against Pompey and the Optimates, ultimately leading to Caesar's dictatorship and the end of the Roman Republic.

Caesar's outnumbered army defeated the larger forces of Pompey the Great at Pharsalus in Greece. Caesar's tactical use of a reserve line to counter Pompey's cavalry charge proved decisive. Pompey fled to Egypt, where he was assassinated, leaving Caesar as the undisputed master of the Roman world.

The Roman Senate appointed Caesar dictator perpetuo (dictator for life), granting him unprecedented personal power. This move concentrated military, legislative, and judicial authority in one person, effectively ending the Roman Republic's traditional system of checks and balances and alarming many senators.

A group of Roman senators, led by Marcus Junius Brutus and Gaius Cassius Longinus, stabbed Caesar to death at a meeting of the Senate in the Theatre of Pompey. The assassination was intended to restore the Republic, but instead triggered another civil war that led to the rise of the Roman Empire.
