∙ 11y agoThe Carthaginian General Hannibal was said by ancient historian Polybius to have fought the Second Punic War in revenge for the Romans having fraudulently seized Sardinia and Corsica (which belonged to Carthage) after the First Punic War. Hannibal invaded Italy hoping to win over Rome's Italian allies and, with their help, to capture Rome. Initially, when Hannibal routed the Roman armies three times, the Romans fought for their survival. Later, as they gained the upper hand, they fought to regain control of Italy.
The war was also fought in Spain, which was the flash point which triggered the war. Hannibal attacked a city which was a Roman ally in breach of a treaty. Rome declared war because she was supposed to protect her allies in Spain. She sent two armies to Spain right at the beginning of the war. This first Roman campaign in Spain was defeated. A second campaign was started. Its aim was to defeat the Carthaginians there and seize the Carthaginian territories in Spain, which they achieved.
The last phase of the war was a Roman campaign in Tunisia (where Carthage was). The aim was the final defeat of Carthage and ending the war.
