Caesar and Pompey were jealous of each other and their power. Pompey was out taking land in the south and the east. When Caesar got to Northern Italy, Pompey and his troops were in Spain. Caesar and Pompey had tried to be civil. Pompey even married Caesar’s daughter, Julia, but she died in childbirth. There was nothing stopping them from hating each other.The years 50 and 49 BC were pivotal because during this time frame, Caesar's 'imperium' or safety from prosecution was set to expire.
Pretty much everything else I find is already in our notes.
