Carthage did not give anyone to Rome. Rome captured prisoners of war, but they were not actually given to her by Carthage. Rome demanded that Carthage surrender Hannibal to her, but he fled into exile in the eastern Mediterranean.
There was great bitterness against Carthage because of the many thousands of Roman deaths which had been caused by Hannibal's invasion of Italy. Moreover, the party which wanted the destruction of Carthage was worried about her becoming a great power again and giving Rome trouble again. Despite the harsh peace terms imposed on Carthage by Rome, Carthage prospered. Rome imposed heavy war indemnities to be paid over 50 years to hold back Carthage economically. 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. Carthage also had one of the most fertile lands in the Mediterranean. She paid the heavy war indemnities easily and offered to pay the indemnity more quickly, but Rome refused. Her economy was thriving. This was presented as a threat to Rome by the pro-destruction of Carthage party. Their leader, Cato the Elder, ended all his speeches by saying "furthermore Carthage must be destroyed." Not all Romans agreed with destroying Carthage, but the pro-war party won the day.

Hannibal was a Carthaginian general who invaded Italy in an effort to conquer Rome in the second Punic war. He was doing pretty good against Rome until the Romans changed their battle tactics, got a smarter general in Scipio, and Carthage itself did not give him any reinforcements.

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.
