A clash over dominance of Sicily.
Wiki User
∙ 6y ago
The short term cause of the Punic Wars was the growing competition and tension between the powerful city-states of Rome and Carthage in the Mediterranean region. This rivalry escalated when Rome became involved in the affairs of Sicily, a region that was of interest to both Rome and Carthage. The immediate trigger for the First Punic War was a dispute over control of the Sicilian city of Messana.
