It recognised hegemony of the western Mediterranean by Rome, and undertook to pay a massive indemnity over 50 years, designed to keep it in check for the future.
The Carthaginians were such good traders that they paid off the debt in 10 years, and Rome was faced with the problem again.

∙ 11y agoCarthage did not actually give up anything with the battle of Zama. This battle just brought the Second Punic War to a close.
Carthage had had to give up her territories Spain after the battle of Ilipa won by the Roman general Scipio Africanus in southern Spain four years earlier.
The Romans also had made an alliance with the Massylii, the eastern Numidians who were Carthage's next door neighbours in eastern Algeria and had been Carthaginian allies and had supplied much of the Carthaginian cavalry.
The western Numidians, the Maseasyli, were already Roman allies. After the Roman victory at the battle of Ilipa in 206 BC, the Massylii also allied with the Romans.
With the Second Punic War Carthage lost her possessions in Spain and her alliances east of Tunisia, the area where Carthage was.

∙ 11y agoRome assumed unchallenged dominance in the Western Mediterranean, and in punishing Phillip of Macedon for his support of Carthage, became embroiled in the east, which they eventually included in their empire.
Carthage didn't give anyone or anything to Rome. After defeat in 204 BCE it incurred a massive financial indemnity which was designed to cripple their ability to wage war for fifty years. The Carthaginians, having suffered the almost total loss of its finest youth in Sicily in 480 BCE, had thereafter relied on foreign mercenaries, and without money were neutralised.
However, being very adept traders, they managed to pay off the debt in ten years, which alarmed the Romans. They were subjected to harrassment by Rome's North African allies until they were forced into defensive war, defeated in 146 BCE, their city destroyed, their population enslaved and scattered and a Roman military colony established on its site.

In the terms of the peace treaty, Carthage had to pay Rome a war indemnity of 10,000 talents (300 tonnes) of silver in instalments over a period of 50 years. She had to restrict her navy to only 10 ships for coastal defence and she was demilitarised. She was not allowed to raise an army without Rome's permission.

Ironically, one conditions imposed by Rome, the demilitarisation of the city, helped Carthage. The Carthaginians saved a lot of money by not having to pay for an army.

Why do you think historians say that rome and Carthage were destined to fight each other?
They probably mean that when the Romans gained control of central and southern Italy, Rome and Carthage were destined to clash over the control of next door Sicily. The Carthaginians, who had possessions in western Sicily, mobilised for war in against Rome when she intervened militarily to support some mercenaries who had seized the city of Messana, in north-eastern Sicily, on the straight which separates the island from the mainland. These mercenaries had been attacked by Syracuse, the most powerful of the Greek city-states in eastern and southern Sicily. The Romans defeated Syracuse and forced her to become a Roman ally. The Carthaginians were worried about the security of their possessions in the west in the face of this combined power. There had been a friendly relationship between Rome and Carthage which signed three trade treaties. This broke down during the war against Pyrrhus, a Greek King who tried to invade southern Italy by fighting against Rome and, when he failed, went to Sicily and fought against the Carthaginians. The two sides had signed a treaty in which they were meant to help each other against Pyrrhus. Initially Carthage's fleet patrolled the sea between Sicily and Rome to keep an eye on Pyrrhus' fleet, which never reached this sea. When Pyrrhus went to Sicily Rome did not give ant help. The Carthaginians, in their turn, where happy when Pyrrhus left Sicily, returned to the mainland and fought the Romans again. He lost and left Italy, saying "What a battlefield I am leaving for Carthage and Rome!" After this war Rome took over Apulia the heel of Italy, and Calabria the toe of the peninsula, just two miles from Sicily. Carthage and Rome were now the superpowers of the western Mediterranean.
