What was the result of Julius Caesar's invasion of Britain in 55 BC?

  1. aIt did not succeed, and Britain was not conquered at that timeCorrect answer
  2. bHe conquered the whole of Britain, including Scotland
  3. cHe became the first king of England
  4. dHe built a wall across the north of England

Why?

Julius Caesar's invasion in 55 BC failed, and when he returned the next year he did not conquer Britain either. Roman rule only began after a new invasion in AD 43; the wall in the north was built much later, on the orders of Emperor Hadrian.
