The Carthaginians didn't win any of the Punic Wars. However, they won important battles in the first two, including the battles of Cannae, Trebia and Lake Trasimene.
The first Punic war, like all the Punic wars, were between Rome and Carthage.
It fought against Carthage for control of the Western Mediterranean. Rome did not fight against or with Sicilians. The First Punic war was fought against the Carthaginians who had settlements in the west of Sicily. Rome's aim at the beginning of the war was to gain control over Sicily. In this war Syracuse allied with Rome. However, the Syracusans were Greeks, not Sicilian. The indigenous Sicilians were mostly annexed or caught in fights between Greeks and Carthaginian and then got caught in Rome's war. The fight over control of the western Mediterranean occurred in the Second Punic war. Rome's seizing of Sardinia and Corsica (a result following the first war, rather than an original aim of the first war) most likely contributed to this. The second war was provoked by the Carthaginians, and it ended with Rome controlling the western mediterranean.
The first territories outside peninsular Italy that Rome acquired were western Sicily, Sardinia and Corsica. They were taken over from the Carthaginians after the First Punic War. The first territory acquired outside present day Italy, apart from Corsica, was southern Spain. It was taken over from the Carthaginians after the Second Punic War.
The Romans and Carthaginians clashed in the First and Second Punic Wars primarily due to territorial disputes and competition for dominance in the Mediterranean. The First Punic War (264-241 BCE) was sparked by a conflict over control of Sicily, a strategically important island. The Second Punic War (218-201 BCE) arose from ongoing tensions, particularly after Carthaginian general Hannibal's attack on Rome's ally, Saguntum, as well as Rome's desire to curb Carthaginian expansion in Spain. These wars ultimately stemmed from both powers' aspirations for supremacy in the region.
