Question

What was the result of the civil wars between leaders of the wealthy and lower classes in Rome during the 2nd and 1st centuries B.C. (200-1 B.C.)?

Answer 1

Victorious generals became dictators.

Answer 2

The civil wars led the end of the Roman Republic and establishment of the rule by emperors. Historians refer to the latter political system as Roman Empire. However, understood in the usual sense of territorial expansion, the Republic already had an empire. Much of Rome's imperial expansion occurred during the Republic.
