From the 7th to 5th century B.C. Rome was attacked by her neighbors many times: Sabines, Etruscans, Volsci, Auequi and sometimes even by other Latins. From the mid-4th to the early 3rd century B.C. Rome fought the three Samnite wars. The second and third of these wars were a conflict over the control of central Italy and part of southern Italy.

Alexander the Great of Macedonia took over the Persian empire in the late 4th Century BCE. At this stage Rome was a growing city-state confined to the Italian Peninsula fighting its neighbours there.

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.
No. They had been fighting other Italians since the Roman state was formed, to steal neighbouring land, and defend their land from neighbours. They expanded through Italy by war.
It progressively defeated its neighbours and expanded its control through Italy.
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.
After the First Punic War, Rome took over the Carthaginian territories in western Sicily and controlled the whole of Sicily and the small islands around it. She also took advantage of Carthage having to deal with a rebellion of her mercenaries to also seize , Sardinia and Corsica from Carthage. In the Second Punic War, Rome took over the Carthaginian territories in southern Spain after defeating the Carthaginians there. Carthage also lost the support of their allies and next door neighbours, the Numidians of Algeria, who defected to Rome. At this point Rome dominated the western basin of the Mediterranean. In the Third Punic War, Rome destroyed Carthage and took over her remaining territories, Tunisia, her homeland, and western Libya.
