A fifty-year financial payment designed to cripple it. They paid it off in 10 years.
Rome won three Punic Wars. In the first one she took over Carthage's territories in western Sicily. While Carthage was busy dealing with a rebellion after the war ended, Rome took advantage of this to seize Corsica and Sardinia, which were Carthaginian possessions. In the Second war, Rome took over Carthage's newly acquired territories in Southerner Spain. The Numidians, Carthage's neighbours switched their allegiance to Rome. Rome imposed heavy terms on Carthage in the peace treaty. Rome gained control over the western basin of the Mediterranean. Rome fought the third war because she wanted to destroy Carthage.
The excuse that Rome used to declare war was the fact that Carthage raised an army to defend herself against territorial encroachments by the Numidians, their next door neighbours, without consulting Rome. Under the terms of the peace treaty Carthage was demilitarised and she was not allowed to raise an army without Rome's consent. Carthage thought that when she finished paying a 50-year war indemnity to Rome she had fulfilled the peace treaty and was free form it. There was a political faction in Rome which wanted to destroy Carthage to eliminate this rival because she had recovered economically after the second war. They were worried about Carthage's economic resurgence.
the official terms of peace during world war 1 was the signing of the peace treaty of versallies.
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.

The effects of the First Punic War were: · Rome gained control of Sicily by taking over Carthage's possessions in western Sicily and through an alliance with the Greek city of Syracuse, the most powerful city in Sicily (in eastern and southern Sicily there were Greek cities). · Under the terms of the peace treaty cartage also had to give up small islands around Sicily and undertake not to attack Syracuse and her allies. · Carthage had to pay a war indemnity of 30 tons of silver immediately and 66 tons of silver in 10 annual instalments. · Carthage tried to get her disbanded mercenary soldiers to accept a reduced payment because the war had emptied her coffers. This sparked a revolt which has been called the Mercenary War which Carthage managed to suppress with great difficulty and at a high cost. · Rome took advantage of Carthage having to deal with the Mercenary War to seize Sardinia and Corsica from Carthage. Carthage lost the hub of her trade in the western Mediterranean. · Carthage expanded the territories under her control in western Libya and conquered southern Spain to make up for her losses and to gain control of the gold and silver mines is southern Spain to finance both their occupation there and the payment of the indemnity payments to Rome. · Carthage lost her naval superiority in the western Mediterranean as the Roman fleet became the main naval force there.
Carthage defended itself against attacks by Roman ally Numidia. The terms of peace treaty after Carthage's loss in the Second Punic War required border disputes ito be referred to Rome and get Roman approval to use war to resolve them. Rome resolved such appeals in favour of Numidia, so Carthage defended itself, which Rome interpreted as a breach of the treaty and took the opportunity to attack and impose a 'final solution' to the problem of Carthaginian distraction from its current main aim of expansion in the Eastern Mediterranean.
