How did Augustus Caesar help transform Rome from a republic to an empire?
Julius Caesar actually contributed very little to the change in government. Rome was an empire under the republic. It's government was not changed from the republican form of government to the principate form of government (which is erroneously called the empire) until the reign of Augustus, fourteen years after Caesar's death. The only possible connection Caesar could have to the governmental change was that he accepted the position of dictator for life, foreshadowing the principate.Julius Caesar actually contributed very little to the change in government.

When did Roman empire is begin?
The Republic began in ~509BC but there is no actual date when it became an Empire. Several events are marked as the transition from Republic to Empire. Julius Caesar's appointment as dictator (44 BC) Battle of Actium (2 September 31 BC) and the Senate granting Octavium honorific Augustus (16 January 27 BC). (The most common is Ceasar's appointment as dictator.) All of these "beginning's" of the empire fail to even give consideration to the fact that Rome was already an empire during the republic. It became an established empire as it began to expand into Italy and was a major empire after the second Punic war. It was an empire under the Republic form of government. It became an empire under the Principate form of government beginning with Augustus. Remember, an empire is an entity made up of a large group, all ruled by a central authority. In Rome's case, the provinces and territories were ruled from Rome by the senate during the republic, making it an empire at that time.

What happened in the Roman Republic after the Punic wars?
During the Middle and Late Roman Republic there was mass impoverishment. Loss of land by peasants was a big problem from the Second Punic War (218-201 BC) on. Many small farms were ravaged by Hannibal's forces during his invasion of Italy and many more were neglected due to the peasants' prolonged military service during that war. The owners of large landed estates took advantage of this to buy land on the cheap from distressed peasants. They were also advantaged by the abundant supply of slave labour created by the war (slaves were war captives). The majority of slaves were bought by rich landlords and were employed in the fields of the large estates. This abundant supply of labour facilitated the productive expansion of the estates. This trend continued and Rome was flooded by dispossessed peasants who migrated there to eke out a living, swelling the masses of the poor.The issue of poverty became a political hot potato and was a factor behind the series of civil wars which led to the fall of the Roman Republic and its replacement by absolute rule by emperors.

How the Punic Wars contributed to the development of the Roman Empire?
The Punic Wars led to the Rome's expansion beyond italy and to her gaining control of the basin of the western Mediterranean. With their victory in the First Punic War (264 BC- 241 BC) the Romans took over the Carthaginian territories in western Sicily. Soon after the war Rome also seized Sardinia and Corsica form Carthage. She also imposed a ten-year war indemnity. During this war Rome also forced Syracuse, the most powerful of the Greek city-states in eastern and southern Sicily, to become a Roman ally. With the second Punic War (218 Bc-201 BC) Rome took over the Carthaginian territories in southern Spain and formed an alliance with the Numidians of Algeria, who defected to Rome. She imposed a fifty-year war indemnity, reduced Carthage's fleet to ten ships, imposed the demilitarisation of this city-state and Carthage's disputes with her neighbours had to be arbitrated by Rome. With the Third Punic War (179 BC-176 BC) Rome destroyed Carthage and took over her remaining territories: Tunisia and eastern Libya.
Who fought in the punic wars what was the end and why was that end result significant?
The Romans and the Carthaginians fought three Punic Wars (267-274 BC, 218-201 BC, and 179-176 BC). Rome won all three wars. With the first war Rome took over the Carthaginian possessions in western Sicily (and gained control of this island through this and through an alliance with Syracuse, the most powerful of the Greek city-states in the east and the south of the island), Sardinia and Corsica. With the second war Rome took over the Carthaginian territories in southern Spain and made an alliance with Carthage's next door neighbours, the Numidians of Algeria, who switched allegiance form Carthage to Rome. With the third war, Rome destroyed Carthage and took over her remaining territories, her homeland (Tunisia) and western Libya. The result of these wars was that Rome became the master of the western Mediterranean, to the west and south of Italy.
What is a conflict with Carthage?
Macedonia.The First Macedonian War was separate for the Second Punic War. It was fought in Greece, not Italy or Spain. Macedon did not fight alongside Carthage. Philip of Macedon made an alliance with Hannibal, but his intention was to invade southern Illyria, next door to Greece. His aims were different than that of Carthage. Rome intervened to protect her interests in Illyria.Those who fought with Carthage were Carthage's allies: the Numidians in Algeria, the Mauritanians in northern Morocco, the Turdetani in southern Spain and the Iberians in the eastern coast of Spain.After the First Punic War Carthage decided to stop relying on mercenaries and expanded across northwest Africa, southern Spain and much eastern Spain. Their expansion followed the Roman model. They established Carthaginian colonies (settlements) in the new areas of domination and formed a network of military alliances with the locals. This was the way Carthage was able to form a pool of military manpower comparable in size to that of Rome. The allies formed a much bigger part of the Carthaginian army than in the case of the Roman army as Carthage's population base was smaller than Rome's. The Carthaginian cavalry was in the main a Numidian cavalry as Numidians were formidable horsemen. The bulk of the infantrymen were the Turdetani and Iberians. When Scipio Africanus finally defeated the Carthaginians in Spain, this deprived them of the large manpower from Spain, which was a key factor in bringing Hannibal's campaign in Italy to a dead end.
