First Jewish-Roman War

The First Jewish-Roman War (66-73 CE) was a significant conflict between the Roman Empire and Jewish rebels in Judea. Triggered by political tensions, religious grievances, and oppressive Roman taxation, the war began when Jews revolted against Roman rule. Key events included the siege of Jerusalem and the destruction of the Second Temple in 70 CE, a pivotal moment in Jewish history. The war ended with the fall of Masada in 73 CE, marking a brutal defeat for the Jews. This conflict deepened the divide between Judaism and Roman culture and had lasting impacts on Jewish identity and diaspora.
