The result of the Three Punic Wars was that Rome gained control over the western basin of the Mediterranean. After the First Punic War Rome seized western Sicily and Sardinia for the Carthaginians. During the Second Punic War Rome took over the Carthaginian territories in Southern Spain. The Numidians of Algeria switched their alliance from Carthage to Rome. This, combined with alliances with the cities on the northern part of the Mediterranean coast of Spain and with the Greek cities of southern France gave Rome control of the western Mediterranean. In the Third Punic War Rome destroyed Carthage, sold 50,000 of its citizens as slaves and took over Carthage's home territories: Tunisia and western Libya.
