 | | In 58 BC when the Helvetii and their allies began a mass migration from Switzerland, Caesar drove them back to their homes, then defeated the Sequani, who had been threatening the Aedui, allies of Rome. |
 | | The next year, 57 BC, Caesar moved north and conquered the Belgae, driving a wedge between the Germans and Central Gaul, then spent much of 56 BC in Armorica (Normandy and Brittany) suppressing rebellious tribes. |
 | | In perhaps the most daring campaign of the Gallic War, Caesar crossed the Rhine in 55 BC after defeating German tribes on its Gallic (western) banks, then devastated the lands of the Sugambri before marching to the coast for a naval invasion of Britain, the first of two. |
