When the Carthaginians (actually Carthaginian mercenaries) invaded the city of Messana (which is the city the separates Sicily and Italy) the citizens called to Rome for help. The Romans knew that if they helped Messana it would cause a war between them and the Carthaginians, but after great debate they helped Messana. This is the start of the First Punic War.
