Eli5: Why was it world-changing that Caesar crossed the Rubicon?
In: 1397
Because it was one of the major events that started the chain reaction which ultimately led to the destruction of the Roman Republic and it’s replacement with an Empire.
Chances are the Republic would have fallen at some point anyway even if Caesar himself was not responsible because things were starting to fall apart at that point, but nonetheless that choice ultimately led to him going to war against the senate and being appointed consul for life as appeasement.
