Hannibal was unsuccesfal because he marched his troops almost non-stop through the alps and he fought against another excellent general, Gaius Julius Ceasar. Hannibal was unsuccessful for a number of reason non include fighting against Julius Caesar because Julius Caesar wasnt even alive in the same time as Hannibal.
1. He was unable to detach the most important Italian allies from Rome's side, which meant Rome could continue to recruit soldiers as fast as they lost them, while Hannibal was limited in his access to support and sustenance.
2. He did not have a seige train capable of reducing the city of Rome quickly, and the Romans threatened his rear and also his allies and food supply if he committed himself to a prolonged seige.
3. Rome invaded North Africa to threaten Carthage itself, resulting in Hannibal's recall from Italy to defend the city. Here, stripped of its allies and facing a coalition of Rome and Carthage's African adversaries, Carthage was defeated at Zama.

He did not have a seige train to attack the walls of the city and instead devoted his energies to detaching Roman allies to his own side to dominate Italy and so neutralise overall Roman superiority.
Rome eventually copied this strategy and sent a force to Africa to menace Carthage, and Hannibal was recalled to defend the city.
Two main factors led to Hannibal's defeat. They were the change in battle tactics of he Romans and the lack of support from Carthage itself.

Hannibal failed to conquer Rome for two reasons. The first was that the Romans changed their battle tactics against him and the second was that he received no help or reinforcements from Carthage.

I think...maybe because they kept on fighting him and churning out new armies, and he couldn't actually get to capture Rome.
Hannibal didnt like the Romans because they killed his father.
when he was very young, and before his father died, his father told him that he should try to defeat the Romans

No Hannibal was involved in the Second Punic war and Rome won all three Punic Wars.
There were a number of Roman generals that might be called daring in the Second Punic War. The one that is often cited is Scipio Africanus. His victory over Hannibal at the Battle of Zama, severely dashed all hopes of Carthage to win the war against Rome.
His name was Hannibal, son of Hamilcar Barca (who was a general in the first punic war). Hannibal is sometimes called the "father of strategy." He led an invasion of the Italian peninsula, crossing over the Alps into northern Italy to wage a campaign that would last for 15 years. During this time he would win three major battles against the Roman legions: Trebia, Trasimene, and Cannae.
1) Do you regret having to turn home and defend your country, resulting in you losing the war? 2) What was your plan to win against the Romans?
Hannibal proposed to invade Italy and try to win over Rome's Italian allies, who provided at least 60% of the military manpower available to Rome. He also proposed that he lead this expedition. Antiochus III rejected this. When Antiochus showed off the army he had levied to invade Greece and asked Hannibal if they would be enough to defeat Rome, Hannibal replied "I think all this will be enough, yes, quite enough, for the Romans, even though they are most avaricious." Hannibal was putin command of a Seleucid fleet but was defeated in a battle off the Eurymedon River. (in southern Turkey)

By abandoning the strategy of defending the Italian peninsula and getting their asses kicked by Hannibal and taking to fight to a defenseless Carthage, which had to recall Hannibal to defend it.

In the second Punic war , Maharbal was a cavalry commander under the command of Hannibal . "You know how to win a victory, Hannibal, but not how to use it." Allegedly spoken by Maharbal to Hannibal upon Hannibal's failure , or reluctance , to march on Rome after the Carthaginian victory at Cannae .

Yes! That's why she is war elephant! :)

In the First Punic War, which was fought in Sicily, the rugged terrain created a stalemate in the land war. This conflict was fought mainly at sea. The Carthaginian had a very good navy and excellent sailors. Rome built a fleet from scratch, but her sailors were inexperienced. To make up for this they built a boarding bridge (the corvus) of their ships. This worked well and the Romans won several battles. However, it made the ships top heavy and vulnerable in storms. The corvus was eventually ditched. Despite this, Rome still won the final naval battle of the war. In the Second Punic War, Hannibal invaded Italy and routed the armies of the Romans and their Italian allies four times. The Romans switched to a strategy of attrition. They avoided open battles against Hannibal and harassed him. They got Hannibal stuck in the south of Italy. They concentrated on retaking Capua (Italy's second largest city) which sided with Hannibal. They then sent several legions to different parts of the south to retake towns seized by the Carthaginians. The manpower available to Rome was far greater than that of Hannibal, who was leading what was an expeditionary force. The Romans also intercepted Hasdrubal, Hannibal's brother who was taking reinforcements for Hannibal from Spain (Hannibal's power base). Rome also won a war in southern Spain , defeating the Carthaginians there, and took over this area. At this point, with no chance of getting reinforcements, Hannibal's campaign came to a dead end. Finally, the Romans started a campaign in Tunisia (Carthage's homeland) forcing Hannibal to leave Italy to fight there. They won this final battle. It was relatively easy for Rome to win the Third Punic War. The power of Carthage had been severely curtailed by the previous war.
