Best Answer

The Second Punic War took place in Italy, Spain, Tunisia and eastern Algeria.

Hannibal invaded Italy. The Romans conducted two campaigns in Spain, where the Carthaginians had territories in the south. They did so because the war was sparked by Hannibal capturing a Spanish town which was a Roman ally. Rome had to fight in Spain because she was supposed to defend her allies there. Towards the end the Romans took the war to Tunisia because that is where Carthage was. There were also operations in eastern Algeria to pursue a Carthaginian ally from that area.

It began in Spain, where the Romans accused the Carthaginians of breaching the truce line of the Ebro River from the First Punic War. Whether this was an actual breach is not clear, as the Carthaginians captured Saguntum, a Roman ally, southof the river, however it suited Rome to use this to initiate hostilities against Carthage.
